Jeremiah 19:4-5

[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; [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:

What does Jeremiah 19:4-5 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The calamity would strike because the people had forsaken Yahweh and had turned the valley of Hinnom, and all Jerusalem (cf. 2 Kings 21:12), into a place of heathen worship-including child sacrifice (cf. Jeremiah 7:31). Their forefathers did not do this, and Yahweh had never commanded these atrocities.
