43 And it will be as Jeremiah finished speaking to all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, which Jehovah their God sent him to them all these words, 2 And Azariah son of Hoshaiah will say, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsehood: Jehovah our God sent thee not to say, Ye shall not go to Egypt to sojourn there: 3 For Baruch son of Neriah entices thee against us to give us into the hand of the Chaldeans, to kill us and carry us away captive to Babel. 4 And Johanan son of Kareah heard not, and all the chiefs of the armies, and all the people, to the voice of Jehovah, to dwell in the land of Judah. 5 And Johanan son of Kareah will take, and all the chiefs of the armies, all the remnant of Judah who turned back from all the nations, where they were thrust away there to sojourn in the land of Judah; 6 Men and women and children, and the king’s daughters, and every soul which Nebuzaradan chief of the cooks left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch, son of Neriah. 7 And they will come to the land of Egypt: for they heard not to the voice of Jehovah, and they will come even to Tahpanhes. 8 And the word of Jehovah will be to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 9 Take in thy hand great stones, and hide them in the mortar in the brick kiln, which is in the entrance of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah, 10 And say to them, Thus said Jehovah of armies, God of Israel, Behold me sending and I took Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, my servant, and I set his throne from above these stones which I hid; and he spread his tapestry upon them. 11 And coming and smiting the land of Egypt, whom for death to death, and whom for captivity to captivity, and whom for the sword to the sword. 12 And I kindled a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he burnt them and carried them away captive: and he covered himself with the land of Egypt as the shepherd will cover himself with his garment; and he will go forth from thence in peace. 13 And he brake the pillars of the house of the sun which is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the Gods of Egypt he shall burn in fire.
