NASB — Jeremiah 19 — KJV

The Broken Jar

1 Thus° says° the LORD°, “Go° and buy° a apotter’s° earthenware° bjar°, and [take] some° of the celders° of the people° and some° of the Idsenior° priests°. 2 Then go° out to the avalley° of Ben-hinnom°°, which° is by the entrance° of the potsherd° gate°, and bproclaim° there° the words° that I tell° you, 3 and say°, ‘Hear° the word° of the LORD°, O akings° of Judah° and inhabitants° of Jerusalem°: thus° says° the LORD° of hosts°, the God° of Israel°, “Behold° I am about to bring° a bcalamity° upon this° place°, at which° the cears° of everyone° that hears° of it will tingle°. 4 Because°° they have aforsaken° Me and have bmade° this° an alien° place° and have burned° Isacrifices° in it to cother° gods°, that neither° they nor° their forefathers° nor° the kings° of Judah° had [ever] known°, and [because] they have filled° this° place° with the dblood° of the innocent° 5 and have built° the ahigh° places° of Baal° to burn° their bsons° in the fire° as burnt° offerings° to Baal°, a thing which° I never° commanded° or spoke° of, nor° did it [ever] enter° My Imind°; 6 therefore°, behold°, adays° are coming°,” declares° the LORD°, “when this° place° will no° longer° be called° bTopheth° or cthe valley° of Ben-hinnom°°, but rather°° the valley° of Slaughter°. 7 I will amake° void° the counsel° of Judah° and Jerusalem° in this° place°, and bI will cause them to fall° by the sword° before° their enemies° and by the hand° of those who seek° their life°; and I will give° over their ccarcasses° as food° for the birds° of the sky° and the beasts° of the earth°. 8 I will also make° this° city° a adesolation° and an [object of] hissing°; beveryone° who passes° by it will be astonished° and hiss° because° of all° its Idisasters°. 9 I will make them aeat° the flesh° of their sons° and the flesh° of their daughters°, and they will eat° one° another’s° flesh° in the siege° and in the distress° with which° their enemies° and those who seek° their life° will distress° them.”’

Under the type of breaking a potter's vessel is foreshewed the desolation of the Jews for their sins.

1 ¶ Thus² saithºª the LORD,º Goºª and getºª a potter'sºª earthenº bottle,º and [take] of the ancientsº² of the people,º and of the ancientsº² of the priests;º 2 And go forthºª unto² the valleyº of the sonº of Hinnom,º which² [is] by the entryº of the eastº gate,º and proclaimºª there²² the wordsº that² I shall tellºª² thee, 3 And say,ºª Hearºª ye the wordº of the LORD,º O kingsº of Judah,º and inhabitantsºª of Jerusalem;º Thus² saithºª the LORDº of hosts,º the Godº of Israel;º Behold,² I will bringºª evilº upon² this² place,º the which² whosoever² heareth,ºª his earsº shall tingle.ºª 4 Because²² they have forsakenºª me, and have estrangedºª² this² place,º and have burned incenseºª in it unto otherº gods,º whom² neither² they² nor their fathersº have known,ºª nor the kingsº of Judah,º and have filledºª² this² placeº with the bloodº of innocents;º 5 They have builtºª also² the high placesº of Baal,º to burnºª² their sonsº with fireº [for] burnt offeringsº unto Baal,º which² I commandedºª not,² nor² spakeºª [it], neither² cameºª [it] into² my mind:º 6 Therefore,² behold,² the daysº come,ºª saithºª the LORD,º that this² placeº shall no² more² be calledºª Tophet,º nor The valleyº of the sonº of Hinnom,º but²² The valleyº of slaughter.º 7 And I will make voidºª² the counselº of Judahº and Jerusalemº in this² place;º and I will cause them to fallºª by the swordº beforeº their enemies,ºª and by the handsº of them that seekºª their lives:º and² their carcasesº will I giveºª to be meatº for the fowlsº of the heaven,º and for the beastsº of the earth.º 8 And I will makeºª² this² cityº desolate,º and an hissing;º every one² that passethºª thereby² shall be astonishedºª and hissºª because² of all² the plaguesº thereof. 9 And I will cause them to eatºª² the fleshº of their sonsº and the fleshº of their daughters,º and they shall eatºª every oneº the fleshº of his friendº in the siegeº and straitness,º wherewith² their enemies,ºª and they that seekºª their lives,º shall straitenºª them. 10 Then shalt thou breakºª the bottleº in the sightº of the men¹² that goºª with² thee, 11 And shalt sayºª unto² them, Thus² saithºª the LORDº of hosts;º Even soº will I breakºª² this² peopleº and this² city,º as² [one] breakethºª² a potter'sºª vessel,º that² cannotºª² be made whole² again:¹ª² and they shall buryºª [them] in Tophet,º till [there be] no²² placeº to bury.ºª 12 Thus² will I doºª unto this² place,º saithºª the LORD,º and to the inhabitantsºª thereof, and [even] makeºª² this² cityº as Tophet:º 13 And the housesº of Jerusalem,º and the housesº of the kingsº of Judah,º shall be² defiledº as the placeº of Tophet,º because of all² the housesº upon² whose² roofsº they have burned incenseºª unto all² the hostº of heaven,º and have poured outºª drink offeringsº unto otherº gods.º 14 Then cameºª Jeremiahº from Tophet,º² whither²² the LORDº had sentºª him to prophesy;ºª and he stoodºª in the courtº of the LORD'Sº house;º and saidºª to² all² the people,º 15 Thus² saithºª the LORDº of hosts,º the Godº of Israel;º Behold,² I will bringºª upon² this² cityº and upon² all² her townsº² all² the evilº that² I have pronouncedºª against² it, because² they have hardenedºª² their necks,º that they might not² hearºª² my words.º
