1 When Jeremiah had finished reciting to the people all that the Lord
their God had sent him to say,
2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan
son of Kareah and their party had the effrontery to say to note Jeremiah,
-- --
Jeremiah after the capture of Jerusalem
‘You are lying; the Lord our God has not sent you to forbid us to go
and make our home in Egypt.
3 Baruch son of Neriah has incited you
against us in order to put us in the power of the Chaldaeans, so that they
may kill us or deport us to Babylon.’
4 Johanan son of Kareah and the
captains of the armed bands and all the people refused to obey the Lord
and stay in Judah.
5 So Johanan son of Kareah and the captains collected
the remnant of Judah, all who had returned from the countries among
which they had been scattered to make their home in Judah—men,
6
women and children, including the king's daughters, all the people
whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah son of
Ahikam, son of Shaphan, as well as the prophet Jeremiah and Baruch
son of Neriah;
7 these all went to Egypt and came to Tahpanhes, disobeying
the Lord.
8
9 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes: Take some
large stones and set them in cement in the pavement at the entrance to
Pharaoh's palace in Tahpanhes.
10 Let the Judaeans see you do it and say
to them, These are the words of the Lord of Hosts the God of Israel:
I will send for my servant Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he note
will place his throne on these stones that I have set there, and spread
his canopy over them.
11 He will then proceed to strike Egypt down,
killing those doomed to death, taking captive those who are for captivity,
and putting to the sword those who are for the sword.
12 He note will
set fire to the temples of the Egyptian gods, burning the buildings and
carrying the gods into captivity. He will scour the land of Egypt as a
shepherd scours his clothes to rid them of lice. He will leave Egypt with
his purpose achieved.
13 He will smash the sacred pillars of Bethshemesh note
in Egypt and burn down the temples of the Egyptian gods.
