29. Shave your head baldand throw away the hair.Sing a funeral songon top of a barren hill.You people have made me angry,and I have abandoned you.
30. You have disobeyed me by putting your disgusting idols in my temple, and now the temple itself is disgusting to me.
31. At Topheth in Hinnom Valley you have built altars where you kill your children and burn them as sacrifices to other gods. I would never think of telling you to do this.
32. So watch out! Some day that place will no longer be called Topheth or Hinnom Valley. It will be called Slaughter Valley, because you will bury your dead there until you run out of room,
33. and then bodies will lie scattered on the ground. Birds and wild animals will come and eat, and no one will be around to scare them off.
34. When I have finished with your land, there will be deathly silence in the empty ruins of Jerusalem and the towns of Judah—no happy voices, no sounds of parties or wedding celebrations.
