The expansion of judgment to include the houses of Jerusalem and the royal houses shows that judgment will touch all levels of society. The phrase "that were made unclean like the house of Topheth" connects Jerusalem's idolatrous practices to the judgment. The connection to Topheth (the valley where child sacrifice occurred) suggests that the entire city has become ritually unclean through apostasy. All who dwell in these defiled houses face judgment.
