1
And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah[H3414] had made an end[H3615] of speaking[H1696] unto all the people[H5971] all the words[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] their God[H430], for which the LORD[H3068] their God[H430] had sent[H7971] him to them, even all these words[H1697],
2
Then spake[H559]Azariah[H5838] the son[H1121] of Hoshaiah[H1955], and Johanan[H3110] the son[H1121] of Kareah[H7143], and all the proud[H2086]men[H582], saying[H559] unto Jeremiah[H3414], Thou speakest[H1696]falsely[H8267]: the LORD[H3068] our God[H430] hath not sent[H7971] thee to say[H559], Go[H935] not into Egypt[H4714] to sojourn[H1481] there:
3
But Baruch[H1263] the son[H1121] of Neriah[H5374] setteth thee on[H5496] against us, for to[H4616]deliver[H5414] us into the hand[H3027] of the Chaldeans[H3778], that they might put us to[H4616]death[H4191], and carry us away captives[H1540] into Babylon[H894].
4
So Johanan[H3110] the son[H1121] of Kareah[H7143], and all the captains[H8269] of the forces[H2428], and all the people[H5971], obeyed[H8085] not the voice[H6963] of the LORD[H3068], to dwell[H3427] in the land[H776] of Judah[H3063].
5
But Johanan[H3110] the son[H1121] of Kareah[H7143], and all the captains[H8269] of the forces[H2428], took[H3947] all the remnant[H7611] of Judah[H3063], that were returned[H7725] from all nations[H1471], whither they had been driven[H5080], to dwell[H1481] in the land[H776] of Judah[H3063];
6
Even men[H1397], and women[H802], and children[H2945], and the king's daughters[H1323], and every person[H5315] that Nebuzaradan[H5018] the captain[H7227] of the guard[H2876] had left[H3240] with Gedaliah[H1436] the son[H1121] of Ahikam[H296] the son[H1121] of Shaphan[H8227], and Jeremiah[H3414] the prophet[H5030], and Baruch[H1263] the son[H1121] of Neriah[H5374].
7
So they came[H935] into the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714]: for they obeyed[H8085] not the voice[H6963] of the LORD[H3068]: thus came[H935] they even to Tahpanhes[H8471].
8
Then came the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] unto Jeremiah[H3414] in Tahpanhes[H8471], saying[H559],
9Take[H3947]great[H1419]stones[H68] in thine hand[H3027], and hide[H2934] them in the clay[H4423] in the brickkiln[H4404], which is at the entry[H6607] of Pharaoh's house[H1004] in Tahpanhes[H8471], in the sight[H5869] of the men[H582] of Judah[H3064];
10
And say[H559] unto them, Thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478]; Behold, I will send[H7971] and take[H3947]Nebuchadrezzar[H5019] the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894], my servant[H5650], and will set[H7760] his throne[H3678]upon[H4605] these stones[H68] that I have hid[H2934]; and he shall spread[H5186] his royal pavilion[H8237] over them.
11
And when he cometh[H935], he shall smite[H5221] the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and deliver such as are for death[H4194] to death[H4194]; and such as are for captivity[H7628] to captivity[H7628]; and such as are for the sword[H2719] to the sword[H2719].
12
And I will kindle[H3341] a fire[H784] in the houses[H1004] of the gods[H430] of Egypt[H4714]; and he shall burn[H8313] them, and carry them away captives[H7617]: and he shall array[H5844] himself with the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], as a shepherd[H7462] putteth on[H5844] his garment[H899]; and he shall go forth[H3318] from thence in peace[H7965].
13
He shall break[H7665] also the images[H4676] of Bethshemesh[H1053], that is in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714]; and the houses[H1004] of the gods[H430] of the Egyptians[H4714] shall he burn[H8313] with fire[H784].
