Jeremiah 19

1 This is another message that Yahweh gave [to me]: “Go and buy a clay jar from a man who makes them. Then take with you some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests.

thus to say LORD to go: went and to buy flask to form: potter earthenware and from old: elder [the] people and from old: elder [the] priest

2 Go out [of the city] past the Gate of Broken Pots, to the place [overlooking the dump for broken pottery in] the Ben-Hinnom Valley. Then give them a message.

and to come out: come to(wards) valley son: child (Topheth of son of) Hinnom which entrance gate ([the] Potsherd (Gate) *Q(k)*) and to call: call out there [obj] [the] word which to speak: speak to(wards) you

3 Say to them, ‘[This message is for] you kings of Judah and [other] people of Jerusalem. Listen to what Yahweh is saying! The Commander of the armies of angels says that he will cause there to be a terrible disaster in [Jerusalem]. Those who hear about it will be stunned/shocked [IDM].

and to say to hear: hear word LORD king Judah and to dwell Jerusalem thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel look! I to come (in): bring distress: harm upon [the] place [the] this which all to hear: hear her to tingle ear his

4 [That will happen] because [you Israeli] people have stopped worshiping me, and have caused this place to be a place where [you worship] foreign gods. You burn sacrifices to gods that neither you nor your ancestors nor [even] the kings of Judah ever heard about. And you have filled this place with the blood of innocent people [whom you have killed].

because which to leave: forsake me and to alienate [obj] [the] place [the] this and to offer: offer in/on/with him to/for God another which not to know them they(masc.) and father their and king Judah and to fill [obj] [the] place [the] this blood innocent

5 You have built shrines to honor [your god] Baal, and at those shrines you have [killed] your own children and offered them to be sacrifices to Baal. I never commanded you to do that, I never spoke about doing that, I never even thought about anyone doing that.

and to build [obj] high place [the] Baal to/for to burn [obj] son: child their in/on/with fire burnt offering to/for Baal which not to command and not to speak: speak and not to ascend: rise upon heart my

6 So, beware, [because I, ] Yahweh, say that there will be a time when this garbage dump will no longer be called Topheth or Ben-Hinnom Valley; it will be called Slaughter Valley.

to/for so behold day to come (in): come utterance LORD and not to call: call by to/for place [the] this still [the] Topheth and valley son: child (Topheth of son of) Hinnom that if: except if: except valley [the] (Topheth of) Slaughter

7 In this place I will ruin the plans of [you people who live in] Jerusalem and in [other places in] Judah. I will allow your enemies who want to kill you to kill [many of] you with their swords. [Then] I will allow your corpses to remain on the ground to be food for vultures and wild animals.

and to empty [obj] counsel Judah and Jerusalem in/on/with place [the] this and to fall: kill them in/on/with sword to/for face: before enemy their and in/on/with hand: power to seek soul: life their and to give: give [obj] carcass their to/for food to/for bird [the] heaven and to/for animal [the] land: soil

8 I will [completely destroy] Jerusalem and cause it to become a heap of ruins that people will despise. All the people who pass by will be appalled, and they will be shocked when they see that the city has been destroyed.

and to set: make [obj] [the] city [the] this to/for horror: appalled and to/for hissing all to pass upon her be desolate: appalled and to whistle upon all wound her

9 I will enable your enemies who want to kill you to surround the city for a long time. [Then the food will be all gone, and you people will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you people in the city will eat the flesh of your own children and your neighbors’ children.’

and to eat them [obj] flesh son: child their and [obj] flesh daughter their and man: anyone flesh neighbor his to eat in/on/with siege and in/on/with distress which to press to/for them enemy their and to seek soul: life their

10 [Jeremiah, after you tell that to them], while the people who are with you are watching, smash the jar [that you brought].

and to break [the] flask to/for eye: seeing [the] human [the] to go: went with you

11 Then say to them, ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Just like this jar has been smashed and cannot be repaired, I will smash this city of Jerusalem and other places in Judah. You will bury some of your corpses here in this dump, until there is no more space to bury any more corpses.

and to say to(wards) them thus to say LORD Hosts thus to break [obj] [the] people [the] this and [obj] [the] city [the] this like/as as which to break [obj] article/utensil [the] to form: potter which not be able to/for to heal still and in/on/with Topheth to bury from nothing place to/for to bury

12 That is what I will do to this city and to you people who live here. I will cause this city to be desecrated, like [King Josiah caused Topheth to be] a place that was unfit for people to worship me there.

so to make: do to/for place [the] this utterance LORD and to/for to dwell his and to/for to give: make [obj] [the] city [the] this like/as Topheth

13 The houses in Jerusalem and the palaces of the kings of Judah will be desecrated like this place will be. All the houses where you burned incense on the rooftops to honor the stars [that you worshiped], and where you poured out wine [to be an offering] to your gods, will become (desecrated/unacceptable places for people to worship me).”’”

and to be house: home Jerusalem and house: home king Judah like/as place [the] Topheth [the] unclean to/for all [the] house: home which to offer: offer upon roof their to/for all army [the] heaven and to pour drink offering to/for God another

14 Then I returned from the garbage dump where Yahweh had sent me to tell them that message. Then I stood in the courtyard of Yahweh’s temple and said this to all the people [who were there]:

and to come (in): come Jeremiah from [the] Topheth which to send: depart him LORD there to/for to prophesy and to stand: stand in/on/with court house: temple LORD and to say to(wards) all [the] people

15 “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘I will cause there to be a disaster in this city and in the villages around it like I promised, because you people have stubbornly [IDM] refused to pay attention to what I said to you.’”

thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel look! I (to come (in): bring *Q(k)*) to(wards) [the] city [the] this and upon all city her [obj] all [the] distress: harm which to speak: promise upon her for to harden [obj] neck their to/for lest to hear: hear [obj] word my
