and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground;
and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
007:021 Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Add your burnt
offerings to your sacrifices, and eat meat.
007:022 For I didn't speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day
that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt
offerings or sacrifices:
007:023 but this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to my voice,
and I will be your God, and you shall be my people;
and walk you in all the way that I command you, that it may
be well with you.
007:024 But they didn't listen nor turn their ear, but walked in [their
own] counsels [and] in the stubbornness of their evil heart,
and went backward, and not forward.
007:025 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt
to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets,
daily rising up early and sending them:
007:026 yet they didn't listen to me, nor inclined their ear, but made
their neck stiff: they did worse than their fathers.
007:027 You shall speak all these words to them; but they will not
listen to you: you shall also call to them; but they will
not answer you.
007:028 You shall tell them, This is the nation that has not listened
to the voice of Yahweh their God, nor received instruction:
truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
007:029 Cut off your hair, [Jerusalem], and cast it away, and take up
a lamentation on the bare heights; for Yahweh has rejected
and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
007:030 For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight,
says Yahweh: they have set their abominations in the house
which is called by my name, to defile it.
007:031 They have built the high places of Topheth, which is
in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons
and their daughters in the fire; which I didn't command,
nor did it come into my mind.
007:032 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that it shall
no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom,
but The valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth,
until there be no place [to bury].
007:033 The dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds
of the sky, and for the animals of the earth; and none shall
frighten them away.
007:034 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from
the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice
of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride;
for the land shall become a waste.
008:001 At that time, says Yahweh, they shall bring out the bones
of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes,
and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets,
