FBV JER Chapter 43

JER 43 ©

43After Jeremiah finished telling everyone all that the Lord their God had send him to say, 2Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud and rebellious[fn] men told Jeremiah, “You're lying! The Lord our God hasn't sent you to tell us, ‘You are not to go and live in Egypt.’ 3No, it's Baruch son of Neriah who's turned you against us in order to hand us over to the Babylonians so they can kill us or exile us to Babylon!”

4So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders refused to obey the Lord's command to stay in the land of Judah. 5Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took with them all who were left of the people of Judah, those who had returned to the country from all the nations where they had been scattered. 6These included men, women, and children, the king's daughters, and everyone Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah, as well as Jeremiah and Baruch. 7They went to Egypt because they refused to obey the Lord's command. They went all the way to Tahpanhes.

8A message from Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes: 9As the people of Judah watch, get some large stones and set them into the cement of the brick pavement in the entrance way to Pharaoh's palace at Tahpanhes.

10Tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bring him here. I will place his throne over these stones that I have set into the pavement, and he will spread out his royal tent over them. 11He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined to die, imprisonment to those destined to be imprisoned, and the sword to those destined to be killed by the sword. 12I will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them and loot their idols. He will pick the land of Egypt clean like a shepherd picks his cloak clean of fleas, and he will leave unharmed. 13He will knock down the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun[fn] in Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.


43:2 “Proud and rebellious”: The word used here has the basic meaning of pride, but always in a negative sense that includes arrogance, presumption, and rebellion.

43:13 “Temple of the sun”: the famous temple in Heliopolis (“Heliopolis” is the Greek for “City of the Sun”).
