King James Version
Jeremiah 7:28-34
King James Version
28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
29 Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.
33 And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.
34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

Jeremiah 7:28-34
New International Version
28 Therefore say to them, ‘This is the nation that has not obeyed the Lord its God or responded to correction.(A) Truth(B) has perished; it has vanished from their lips.
29 “‘Cut off(C) your hair and throw it away; take up a lament(D) on the barren heights, for the Lord has rejected and abandoned(E) this generation that is under his wrath.
The Valley of Slaughter
30 “‘The people of Judah have done evil(F) in my eyes, declares the Lord. They have set up their detestable idols(G) in the house that bears my Name and have defiled(H) it. 31 They have built the high places of Topheth(I) in the Valley of Ben Hinnom(J) to burn their sons and daughters(K) in the fire—something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.(L) 32 So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when people will no longer call it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter,(M) for they will bury(N) the dead in Topheth until there is no more room. 33 Then the carcasses(O) of this people will become food(P) for the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away.(Q) 34 I will bring an end to the sounds(R) of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom(S) in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem,(T) for the land will become desolate.(U)
