10 a“Then you shall break the flask in the sight of the men who go with you,  
11 and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: a“Even so I will break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter’s vessel, which cannot be1 made whole again; and they shall bbury them in Tophet till there is no place to bury.  
12 Thus I will do to this place,” says the Lord, “and to its inhabitants, and make this city like Tophet.
13 And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah shall be defiled alike the place of Tophet, because of all the houses on whose broofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and cpoured out drink offerings to other gods.” ’ ”
