Jeremiah 19:4-6

4 "Because * they have 1forsaken Me and have 2made this an alien place and have burned sacrifices in it to 3other gods, that neither they nor their forefathers nor the kings of Judah had ever known, and because they have filled this place with the 4blood of the innocent
5 and have built the 5high places of Baal to burn their 6sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, a thing which I never commanded or spoke of, nor did it ever enter My mind;
6 therefore, behold, 7days are coming," declares the LORD, "when this place will no longer be called 8Topheth or 9the valley of Ben-hinnom *, but rather * the valley of Slaughter.
