Jeremiah 19

God commands Jeremiah to take a potter’s flask and, with the elders and priests, go to the Valley of Hinnom (Topheth), the site of child sacrifice. Jeremiah prophesies that God will shatter the city just as the flask is shattered, making the valley a place of slaughter and judgment because of their persistent idolatry. When Jeremiah returns to the Temple court, he repeats the entire prophecy of doom, leading to his first imprisonment.
