Jeremiah 19:11

Then you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with you,

Thus will I do to this place, says Yahweh, and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth:
and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the army of the sky, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.
