From False Worship to Slaughter
Commentators highlight the profound irony in this verse. The place where the people of Judah committed horrific acts of child sacrifice, possibly viewing it as a place of celebration and divine favor, would be renamed. God declares He will change its name from Topheth (a place of worship) to "The Valley of Slaughter," turning their site of sin into the very location of their destruction.
