JER-43:1 And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah had made an

end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD

their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them,

[even] all these words,

JER-43:2 Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the

son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou

speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go

not into Egypt to sojourn there:

JER-43:3 But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us,

 for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they

might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.

JER-43:4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of

the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD,

 to dwell in the land of Judah.

JER-43:5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of

the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned

from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the

land of Judah;

JER-43:6 [Even] men, and women, and children, and the king's

daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the

guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of

Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.

JER-43:7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed

not the voice of the LORD: thus came they [even] to Tahpanhes.

JER-43:8 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in

Tahpanhes, saying,

JER-43:9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the

clay in the brickkiln, which [is] at the entry of Pharaoh's

house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

JER-43:10 And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the

God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the

king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these

stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion

over them.

JER-43:11 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt,

[and deliver] such [as are] for death to death; and such [as

are] for captivity to captivity; and such [as are] for the sword

to the sword.

JER-43:12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of

Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and

he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd

putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in

peace.

JER-43:13 He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that

[is] in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the

Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
