Jeremiah:
Chapter 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,
2. Then spake Az-a-ri-ah the son of Ho-shai-ah, and Jo-ha-nan the son of
Ka-re-ah, 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:
3. But Bar-uch the son of Ne-ri-ah setteth thee on against us, for to
deliver us into the hand of the Chal-de-ans, that they might put us to
death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
4. So Jo-ha-nan the son of Ka-re-ah, 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.
5. But Jo-ha-nan the son of Ka-re-ah, 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;
6. Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and
every person that Neb-u-zar-ad-an the captain of the guard had left with
Ged-a-li-ah the son of A-hi-kam the son of Sha-phan, and Jeremiah the
prophet, and Bar-uch the son of Ne-ri-ah.
7. So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of
the LORD: thus came they even to Tah-pan-hes.
8. Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tah-pan-hes, saying,
9. Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the
brickkiln, which is at the entry of Phar-aoh's house in Tah-pan-hes, in
the sight of the men of Judah;
10. And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Behold, I will send and take Neb-u-chad-rez-zar, 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.
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.
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 as he shall go forth from thence in peace.
13. He shall break also the images of Beth-she-mesh, that is in the land
of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with
fire.
