Jeremiah 19:6

"Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, but The Valley of Slaughter. And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies will I give to be food for the birds of heavens, and for the beasts of the earth."

"Tophet ..." (Jeremiah 19:6). The exact meaning of this word is not known; but, "It comes from an Aramaic root that indicates `fireplace.' "[15] It was one of the names given to the valley of Ben-hinnom that contained the shrine of Molech.

"I will make void ..." (Jeremiah 19:7). The literal meaning of the Hebrew here is, "I will pour out"; and such writers as Cheyne and Barnes suppose that, "Jeremiah carried that bottle full of water and emptied it in the presence of the witnesses as he spoke these words."[16] We are not inclined to accept this speculation because the flask was new; God had not commanded Jeremiah to fill it with water, and there's nothing in the text to support the speculation, interesting as it is.

"The Valley of Slaughter ..." (Jeremiah 19:6). "It was in this very valley that the Chaldean army encamped, making the very place where they looked for help from their idols to be the scene of their slaughter."[17]
