1. The Lord said:Jeremiah, go to the pottery shop and buy a clay jar. Then take along some of the city officials and leading priests
2. and go to Hinnom Valley, just outside Potsherd Gate. Tell the people that I have said:
12-13. I will make Jerusalem as unclean as Topheth, by filling the city with your dead bodies. I will do this because you and your kings have gone up to the roofs of your houses and burnt incense to the stars in the sky, as though they were gods. And you have given sacrifices of wine to foreign gods.
