CHAP. XIX.
Hee prophecieth the destruction of Ierusalem for the contempt
and despising of the word of God.
1 Thus sayth the Lord, Goe, and buy an earthen
bottel of a potter, and take of the ancients of
the people, and of the ancients of the Priests,
2 And goe forth vnto the valley of Ben-hinnom,
which is by the entrie of the note East gate: and
thou shalt preache there the wordes, that I shall
tell thee,
3 And shalt say, Heare yee the worde of the
Lorde, O note Kings of Iudah, and inhabitantes of
Ierusalem, Thus sayth the Lorde of hostes, the
God of Israel, Behold, I will bring a plague vpon
this place, the which whosoeuer heareth, his eares
shall note tingle.
4 Because they haue forsaken me, and prophaned
this place, and haue burnt incense in it vnto
other gods, whome neyther they, nor their
fathers haue knowen, nor the Kings of Iudah
(they haue filled this place also with the blood of
innocents,
5 And they haue built the hie places of Baal,
to burne their sonnes with fire for burnt offrings
vnto Baal, which I note commanded not, nor spake it,
neither came it into my minde)
6 Therefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the
Lord, that this place shal no more be called note Topheth,
nor þe; valley of Ben-hinnom, but the valley
of slaughter.
7 And I will bring the counsell of Iudah and
Ierusalem to nought in this place, and I will cause
them to fall by the sword before their enemies, &
by the hand of them that seeke their liues: and
their carkeises will I giue to be meate for þe; foules
of the heauen, and to the beastes of the fielde.
8 noteAnd I will make this citie desolate and an
hissing, so that euery one that passeth thereby,
shalbe astonished & hisse because of all þe; plagues
thereof.
9 noteAnd I will feede th&ebar; with the flesh of their
sonnes and with the flesh of their daughters, and
euery one shall eate the flesh of his friende in the
siege and straitnes, wherewith their enemies that
seeke their liues, shall hold them strait.
10 Then shalt thou breake the bottell in the
sight of the men that go with thee,
11 And shalt say vnto them, Thus saith þe; Lord
of hostes, Euen so will I breake this people and
this citie, as one breaketh a note potters vessell, that
cannot be made whole againe, and they shal bury
them in Topheth till there be no place to bury.
12 Thus will I doe vnto this place, sayth the
Lorde, and to the inhabitantes thereof, and I will
make this citie like Topheth.
13 For the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses
of the Kings of Iudah shalbe defiled as the place
of Topheth, because of al the note houses vp&obar; whose
note roofes they haue burnt incense vnto all the host
of heauen, and haue powred out drinke offerings
vnto other gods.
14 Then came Ieremiah fr&obar; Topheth, where
the Lord had sent him to prophecie, and he stood
in the court of the Lordes house, and sayde to all
the people,
-- --
Gods worde a burning fire.
15 Thus saith the Lorde of hostes, the God of
Israel, Beholde, I will bring vpon this citie, and
vpon all her townes, all the plagues that I haue
pronounced against it, because they haue hardened
their neckes, & would not heare my wordes.
