Context — The Broken Jar
4because they have abandoned Me and made this a foreign place. They have burned incense in this place to other gods that neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have ever known. They have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
5They have built high places to Baal on which to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I never commanded or mentioned, nor did it even enter My mind.
6So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.
7And in this place I will ruin the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, by the hands of those who seek their lives, and I will give their carcasses as food to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth. 8I will make this city a desolation and an object of scorn. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff at all her wounds.Cross References

Jeremiah 19:6 Summary
This verse is saying that God is going to judge the people for their sinful practices, and the place where they are committing these sins will be renamed to reflect the consequences of their actions. This is a reminder that our actions have consequences, and that God is just and will punish sin, as seen in Jeremiah 18:11 and Ezekiel 18:4. Just like the people in Jeremiah's time, we need to be careful not to tolerate or participate in sinful practices, and instead turn to God and seek His mercy and forgiveness, as encouraged in 1 John 1:9.
Frequently Asked Questions

The name change signifies the judgment of God on the people for their idolatrous practices, as seen in Jeremiah 19:4-5, and is a reminder of the consequences of sin, as warned in Deuteronomy 28:15-20.
How does this verse relate to the overall message of Jeremiah?
This verse is part of Jeremiah's prophecy of judgment on Judah for their rebellion against God, as seen in Jeremiah 1:16, and serves as a warning to the people to turn back to God before it's too late, as urged in Jeremiah 18:11.
What is the meaning of 'the days are coming' in this verse?
The phrase 'the days are coming' is a common prophetic expression in Jeremiah, as seen in Jeremiah 7:32 and Jeremiah 16:14, indicating a future time of judgment or redemption, and in this case, it refers to the impending judgment on Judah for their idolatry.
How does this verse relate to the concept of God's justice?
This verse demonstrates God's justice in punishing the wicked, as seen in Psalm 37:28 and Romans 6:23, and serves as a reminder that God will not tolerate sin forever, as warned in Hebrews 10:26-31.

- How can I balance God's justice with His mercy, and what does this mean for my own life and relationships?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's sovereignty and judgment, rather than trying to take control myself?
- How can I use this verse as a reminder to pray for those who are caught up in sinful practices, and to share the gospel with those who need to hear it?

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.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 19:6
For this God, by his prophet, threateneth that this place, anciently, in Joshua’ s time, called The valley of the son of Hinnom, and more lately Tophet, from the noise of drums and tabrets there, whilst children were burning, should have a new name, and be called The valley of slaughter, from the multitude of dead bodies which upon the taking of the city should be slain and thrown into this valley. It was expounded ,33, For they shall bury in Tophet till there be no place; and the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth, and none shall fray them away.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 19:6
Jeremiah 19:6 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.Ver. 6. This place shall no more.] See Jeremiah 7:32. Things are repeated, that they may be the better observed.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 19:6
(6) Tophet.—See Notes on Jeremiah 7:31-32.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 19:6
3–9. These vv. are probably an editorial insertion, for (a) the message which God was to give the prophet in the valley of Ben-Hinnom (Jeremiah 19:2) is here given him (Jeremiah 19:3 ff.) before he goes there, (b) the subject-matter of the passage is drawn to a large extent from other portions of the Book, specially from the last part of ch. 7, (c) as Gi. has pointed out, the style of the LXX rendering differs from that employed elsewhere; so that the Greek was probably added by a later hand, the original translator not having the passage in his copy, (d) the use of the plural “kings” (Jeremiah 19:3 and also in Jeremiah 17:20) is strange.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 19:6
5, 6. Compare Jeremiah 7:31-32.
