Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead an affliction over this place, so much so that it will ring in the ears of all who hear about it.
4 eo quod dereliquerint me et alienum fecerint locum istumet sacrificaverint in eo diis alienis, quos nescierunt ipsi et patres eorum etreges Iudae; et repleverunt locum istum sanguine innocentium;	4 For they have abandoned me, and they have made this place foreign, and they have offered libations in it to foreign gods, whom neither they, nor their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known.

And they will be buried at Topheth, because there will be no other place for burial.
12 Sic faciamloco huic, ait Dominus, et habitatoribus eius, ut ponam civitatem istam sicutTopheth;	12 So will I do to this place and to its inhabitants, says the Lord. And I will make this city to be like Topheth.

For they have hardened their necks, so that they would not heed my words.”
