Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, even making this city as Topheth:

This is what I will do to this place and to its residents, declares the LORD. I will make this city like Topheth.

so I do to this place--an affirmation of Jehovah--and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;

Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, and make this city as Topheth.
