[:en]Thoughts from Jeremiah 19[:]

[:en]God sent Jeremiah to Topheth to pronounce His judgment against them.  The people of Israel had forsaken God. They worshiped and burned sacrifice to foreign gods. (v. 4)  They built the high place of Baal to burn their sons as offerings to Baal (v. 5).  God was going to smash this nation just as the potter jar was smashed and cannot be repaired.  The place of Topheth (Valley of Ben Hinnom) will be called Valley of Slaughter.[:]
