Jeremiah

Jeremiah 43:1–7

¹When Jeremiah had finished telling all the people all the words of the LORD their God— everything that the LORD had sent him to say— ²Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to reside there.’ ³Rather, Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans,^a so that they may put us to death or exile us to Babylon!”

⁴So Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces disobeyed the command of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah. ⁵Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces took the whole remnant of Judah, those who had returned to the land of Judah from all the nations to which they had been scattered, ⁶the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and everyone whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah.

⁷So they entered the land of Egypt because they did not obey the voice of the LORD, and they went as far as Tahpanhes.
