which he hath sent me unto you.
22
Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword,
by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go
and
to sojourn.
CHAPTER 43
And it came to pass,
that
when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the
words of the L
ORD
their God, for which the L
ORD
their God had sent him to them,
even
all these
words,
2
Then spake PrAzariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the
proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the L
ORD
our God hath not sent thee to
say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:
3
But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us,
for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away
captives into Babylon.
4
So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all
the people, obeyed not the voice of the L
ORD
, to dwell in the land of Judah.
5
But Johanan the son
of Kareah, 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 Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard
had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch
the son of Neriah.
7
So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the L
ORD
:
thus came they
even
to Tahpanhes.
8
Then came the word of the L
ORD
unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9
Take great stones in
thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which
is
at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in
Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
10
And say unto them, Thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts,
the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar 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 he shall go forth from thence in peace.
13
He shall break also the images of
Beth-shemesh, that
is
in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he
burn with fire.
CHAPTER 44
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which
dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
2
Thus saith
the L
ORD
of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem,
