30For the sons of Judah have done evil in my eyes, says the LORD. They have put their detestable idols in the house over which my name is called, to ritually defile it.31They built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire—which I did not command, and which did not arise in my heart.32Therefore, behold, days are coming, says the LORD, and it will no longer be called Tophet and the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but rather the Valley of Slaughter, and they will bury in Tophet for lack of place.33The carcass of this people will be food for the birds of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten them away.34And I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem a voice of rejoicing and a voice of joy, a voice of bridegroom and a voice of bride, for the earth will become a desolation.

Chapter 8
1At that time, says the LORD: They will bring out the bones of the kings of Judah and the bones of its rulers and the bones of the priests and the bones of the prophets and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem from their graves.2They will spread them out to the sun and to the moon and to all the host of the heavens, which they loved and which they served and which they walked after and which they inquired of and which they prostrated themselves to. They will not be gathered or buried; they will be like dung on the face of the ground.3Death will be chosen rather than life by all the remnant, those remaining from this evil family, in all the places where you drove them—those remaining there, says the LORD of Hosts.
