043:001 It happened that, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking
to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, with which
Yahweh their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
043:002 then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah,
and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, You speak falsely:
Yahweh our God has not sent you to say, You shall not go
into Egypt to sojourn there;
043:003 but Baruch the son of Neriah sets you on against us, to deliver us
into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death,
and carry us away captive to Babylon.
043:004 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces,
and all the people, didn't obey the voice of Yahweh,
to dwell in the land of Judah.
043:005 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces,
took all the remnant of Judah, who were returned from
all the nations where they had been driven, to sojourn
in the land of Judah;
043:006 the men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters,
and every person who 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;
043:007 and they came into the land of Egypt; for they didn't obey

043:008 Then came the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
043:009 Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in mortar
in the brick work, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house
in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
043:010 and tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God
of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar
the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne
on these stones that I have hidden; and he shall spread his
royal pavilion over them.
043:011 He shall come, and shall strike the land of Egypt;
such as are for death [shall be given] to death, and such as
are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword
to the sword.
043:012 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt;
and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive:
and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt,
as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he shall go forth
from there in peace.
043:013 He shall also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh, that is in
the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall
he burn with fire.
044:001 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived
