Jeremiah 43
43:1And it came to pass as Jeremiah ceased speaking to the people all the words of the lord their God, which the lord their God sent to them, even all these words.
43:2And Azariah son of Hoshaiah said, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, the ones speaking to Jeremiah, You speak lies, The lord our God did not send you to us, to say, You should not enter into Egypt to live in there;
43:3but Baruch son of Neriah unites with you against us, that you should give us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to put us to death, and to resettle us in Babylon.
43:4And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the force, and all the people hearkened not to the voice of the lord to dwell in the land of Judah.
43:5And Johanan took, and all the leaders of the force, the whole of the rest of Judah, of the ones returning from all of the nations which they were scattered there, to dwell in the land of Judah;
43:6the mighty men, and the women, and the infants remaining, and the daughters of the king, and the souls which Nabuzar-adan the chief guard left behind with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son of Neriah.
43:7And they entered into Egypt, for they hearkened not to the voice of the lord; and they entered into Tahpanhes.
43:8And came to pass the word of the lord to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
43:9Take to yourself great stones, and hide them in the thresholds in the gate of the residence of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, in front of the eyes of the men of Judah.
43:10And you shall say, Thus said the lord of the forces, the God of Israel, Behold, I send for, and I will bring Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon my servant. And he shall put his throne upon these stones which you hid; and he shall lift the shields upon them.
43:11And he shall enter, and shall strike the land of Egypt; whom for death unto death, and whom for resettlement unto resettlement, and whom for broadsword unto broadsword.
43:12And he shall kindle a fire in the houses of their gods, and shall set them on fire, and shall resettle them, and shall fumigate the land of Egypt as the shepherd fumigates his garment; and he shall go forth in peace.
43:13And he shall break the columns of Heliopolis, the ones in Egypt. And the houses of the gods of Egypt he shall incinerate with fire.
