KJV ¹ Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;

VULC ¹ Hæc dicit Dominus : Vade, et accipe lagunculam figuli testeam a senioribus populi et a senioribus sacerdotum,

WLC ¹ כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה הָל֛וֹךְ וְקָנִ֥יתָ בַקְבֻּ֖ק יוֹצֵ֣ר חָ֑רֶשׂ וּמִזִּקְנֵ֣י הָעָ֔ם וּמִזִּקְנֵ֖י הַכֹּהֲנִֽים׃

KJV ² And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,

VULC ² et egredere ad vallem filii Ennom, quæ est juxta introitum portæ fictilis : et prædicabis ibi verba quæ ego loquar ad te.

WLC ² וְיָצָ֙אתָ֙ אֶל־ גֵּ֣יא בֶן־ הִנֹּ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֕ר פֶּ֖תַח שַׁ֣עַר וְקָרָ֣אתָ שָּׁ֔ם אֶת־ הַדְּבָרִ֖ים אֲשֶׁר־ אֲדַבֵּ֥ר אֵלֶֽיךָ׃

KJV ³ And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.

VULC ³ Et dices : [Audite verbum Domini,
reges Juda, et habitatores Jerusalem.
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël :
Ecce ego inducam afflictionem super locum istum,
ita ut omnis qui audierit illam, tinniant aures ejus,

WLC ³ וְאָֽמַרְתָּ֙ שִׁמְע֣וּ דְבַר־ יְהוָ֔ה מַלְכֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה וְיֹשְׁבֵ֖י יְרֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם כֹּֽה־ אָמַר֩ יְהוָ֨ה צְבָא֜וֹת אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל הִנְנִ֨י מֵבִ֤יא רָעָה֙ עַל־ הַמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר כָּל־ שֹׁמְעָ֖הּ תִּצַּ֥לְנָה אָזְנָֽיו׃

KJV ⁴ Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;

VULC ⁴ eo quod dereliquerint me,
et alienum fecerint locum istum,
et libaverunt in eo diis alienis quos nescierunt,
ipsi et patres eorum, et reges Juda :
et repleverunt locum istum sanguine innocentum,

WLC ⁴ יַ֣עַן ׀ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עֲזָבֻ֗נִי וַֽיְנַכְּר֞וּ אֶת־ הַמָּק֤וֹם הַזֶּה֙ וַיְקַטְּרוּ־ בוֹ֙ לֵאלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֧ר לֹֽא־ יְדָע֛וּם הֵ֥מָּה וַאֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶ֖ם וּמַלְכֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֑ה וּמָֽלְא֛וּ אֶת־ הַמָּק֥וֹם הַזֶּ֖ה דַּ֥ם נְקִיִּֽם׃

KJV ⁵ They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:

VULC ⁵ et ædificaverunt excelsa Baalim,
ad comburendos filios suos igni in holocaustum Baalim :
quæ non præcepi, nec locutus sum,
nec ascenderunt in cor meum.

WLC ⁵ וּבָנ֞וּ אֶת־ בָּמ֣וֹת הַבַּ֗עַל לִשְׂרֹ֧ף אֶת־ בְּנֵיהֶ֛ם בָּאֵ֖שׁ עֹל֣וֹת לַבָּ֑עַל אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹֽא־ צִוִּ֙יתִי֙ וְלֹ֣א דִבַּ֔רְתִּי וְלֹ֥א עָלְתָ֖ה עַל־ לִבִּֽי׃

KJV ⁶ Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.

VULC ⁶ Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus,
et non vocabitur amplius locus iste Topheth,
et vallis filii Ennom,
sed vallis occisionis.

WLC ⁶ לָכֵ֞ן הִנֵּֽה־ יָמִ֤ים בָּאִים֙ נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֔ה וְלֹא־ יִקָּרֵא֩ לַמָּק֨וֹם הַזֶּ֥ה ע֛וֹד הַתֹּ֖פֶת וְגֵ֣יא בֶן־ הִנֹּ֑ם כִּ֖י אִם־ גֵּ֥יא הַהֲרֵגָֽה׃

KJV ⁷ 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 hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

VULC ⁷ Et dissipabo consilium Juda et Jerusalem in loco isto,
et subvertam eos gladio in conspectu inimicorum suorum,
et in manu quærentium animas eorum :
et dabo cadavera eorum escam volatilibus cæli et bestiis terræ.

WLC ⁷ וּ֠בַקֹּתִי אֶת־ עֲצַ֨ת יְהוּדָ֤ה וִירוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ בַּמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה וְהִפַּלְתִּ֤ים בַּחֶ֙רֶב֙ לִפְנֵ֣י אֹֽיְבֵיהֶ֔ם וּבְיַ֖ד מְבַקְשֵׁ֣י נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְנָתַתִּ֤י אֶת־ נִבְלָתָם֙ לְמַֽאֲכָ֔ל לְע֥וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וּלְבֶהֱמַ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

KJV ⁸ And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.

VULC ⁸ Et ponam civitatem hanc in stuporem, et in sibilum :
omnis qui præterierit per eam obstupescet,
et sibilabit super universa plaga ejus.

WLC ⁸ וְשַׂמְתִּי֙ אֶת־ הָעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֔את לְשַׁמָּ֖ה וְלִשְׁרֵקָ֑ה כֹּ֚ל עֹבֵ֣ר עָלֶ֔יהָ יִשֹּׁ֥ם וְיִשְׁרֹ֖ק עַל־ כָּל־ מַכֹּתֶֽהָ׃

KJV ⁹ And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.

VULC ⁹ Et cibabo eos carnibus filiorum suorum et carnibus filiarum suarum :
et unusquisque carnem amici sui comedet in obsidione,
et in angustia in qua concludent eos inimici eorum,
et qui quærunt animas eorum.]

WLC ⁹ וְהַֽאֲכַלְתִּ֞ים אֶת־ בְּשַׂ֣ר בְּנֵיהֶ֗ם וְאֵת֙ בְּשַׂ֣ר בְּנֹתֵיהֶ֔ם וְאִ֥ישׁ בְּשַׂר־ רֵעֵ֖הוּ יֹאכֵ֑לוּ בְּמָצוֹר֙ וּבְמָצ֔וֹק אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָצִ֧יקוּ לָהֶ֛ם אֹיְבֵיהֶ֖ם וּמְבַקְשֵׁ֥י נַפְשָֽׁם׃

KJV ¹⁰ Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,

VULC ¹⁰ Et conteres lagunculam in oculis virorum qui ibunt tecum,

WLC ¹⁰ וְשָׁבַרְתָּ֖ הַבַּקְבֻּ֑ק לְעֵינֵי֙ הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים הַהֹלְכִ֖ים אוֹתָֽךְ׃

KJV ¹¹ And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.

VULC ¹¹ et dices ad eos : [Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum :
Sic conteram populum istum, et civitatem istam,
sicut conteritur vas figuli,
quod non potest ultra instaurari :
et in Topheth sepelientur,
eo quod non sit alius locus ad sepeliendum.

WLC ¹¹ וְאָמַרְתָּ֨ אֲלֵיהֶ֜ם כֹּה־ אָמַ֣ר ׀ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֗וֹת כָּ֣כָה אֶשְׁבֹּ֞ר אֶת־ הָעָ֤ם הַזֶּה֙ וְאֶת־ הָעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֔את כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר יִשְׁבֹּר֙ אֶת־ כְּלִ֣י הַיּוֹצֵ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹֽא־ יוּכַ֥ל לְהֵרָפֵ֖ה ע֑וֹד וּבְתֹ֣פֶת יִקְבְּר֔וּ מֵאֵ֥ין מָק֖וֹם לִקְבּֽוֹר׃

KJV ¹² Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:

VULC ¹² Sic faciam loco huic, ait Dominus,
et habitatoribus ejus,
et ponam civitatem istam sicut Topheth.

WLC ¹² כֵּֽן־ אֶעֱשֶׂ֞ה לַמָּק֥וֹם הַזֶּ֛ה נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֖ה וּלְיֽוֹשְׁבָ֑יו וְלָתֵ֛ת אֶת־ הָעִ֥יר הַזֹּ֖את כְּתֹֽפֶת׃

KJV ¹³ And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.

VULC ¹³ Et erunt domus Jerusalem,
et domus regum Juda,
sicut locus Topheth, immundæ,
omnes domus in quarum domatibus sacrificaverunt omni militiæ cæli,
et libaverunt libamina diis alienis.]

WLC ¹³ וְהָי֞וּ בָּתֵּ֣י יְרוּשָׁלִַ֗ם וּבָתֵּי֙ מַלְכֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה כִּמְק֥וֹם הַתֹּ֖פֶת הַטְּמֵאִ֑ים לְכֹ֣ל הַבָּתִּ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר קִטְּר֜וּ עַל־ גַּגֹּֽתֵיהֶם֙ לְכֹל֙ צְבָ֣א הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְהַסֵּ֥ךְ נְסָכִ֖ים לֵאלֹהִ֥ים אֲחֵרִֽים׃

KJV ¹⁴ Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD's house; and said to all the people,

VULC ¹⁴ Venit autem Jeremias de Topheth, quo miserat eum Dominus ad prophetandum, et stetit in atrio domus Domini, et dixit ad omnem populum :

WLC ¹⁴ וַיָּבֹ֤א יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ מֵֽהַתֹּ֔פֶת אֲשֶׁ֨ר שְׁלָח֧וֹ יְהוָ֛ה שָׁ֖ם לְהִנָּבֵ֑א וַֽיַּעֲמֹד֙ בַּחֲצַ֣ר בֵּית־ יְהוָ֔ה וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אֶל־ כָּל־ הָעָֽם׃

KJV ¹⁵ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.

VULC ¹⁵ Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël : Ecce ego inducam super civitatem hanc, et super omnes urbes ejus, universa mala quæ locutus sum adversum eam, quoniam induraverunt cervicem suam ut non audirent sermones meos.

WLC ¹⁵ כֹּֽה־ אָמַ֞ר יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאוֹת֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הִנְנִ֨י אֶל־ הָעִ֤יר הַזֹּאת֙ וְעַל־ כָּל־ עָרֶ֔יהָ אֵ֚ת כָּל־ הָ֣רָעָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתִּי עָלֶ֑יהָ כִּ֤י הִקְשׁוּ֙ אֶת־ עָרְפָּ֔ם לְבִלְתִּ֖י שְׁמ֥וֹעַ אֶת־ דְּבָרָֽי׃
