Jeremiah 43
- 1When Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to 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,
- 2Then Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, You speak falsely: the Lord our God has not sent you to say, Do not go into Egypt to stay there:
- 3But Baruch the son of Neriah sets you on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
- 4So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not obey the voice of the Lord, to live in the land of Judah.
- 5But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that had returned from all nations, where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah.
- 6Even 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.
- 7So they came into the land of Egypt. For they did not obey the voice of the Lord: so they came even to Tahpanhes.
- 8Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
- 9Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in the clay in the brick kiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.
- 10And say to them, The Lord of Hosts says this, the God of Israel. I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hid. And he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
- 11And when he comes, he shall strike 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.
- 12And I will light a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt. And he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall clothe himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment. And he shall go out from there in peace.
- 13He 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.
