43When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God— all these words the LORD their God had sent him to give them—H3414H3615H1696H5971H1697H3068H430H3068H430H7971H16972then Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the other arrogant men responded to Jeremiah, "You are speaking a lie! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, 'You must not go to Egypt to live there for a while!'H559H5838H1121H1955H3110H1121H7143H2086H582H559H3414H1696H8267H3068H430H7971H559H935H4714H14813Rather, Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to hand us over to the Chaldeans to put us to death or to deport us to Babylon!"H1263H1121H5374H5496H4616H5414H3027H3778H4191H1540H8944So Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies did not obey the voice of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah.H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H5971H8085H6963H3068H3427H776H30635Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies took the whole remnant of Judah, those who had returned from all the nations where they had been banished to live in the land of Judah for a while—H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H3947H7611H3063H7725H1471H5080H1481H776H30636the men, women, children, king's daughters, and everyone whom Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, had allowed to remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, along with Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah—H1397H802H2945H4428H1323H5315H5018H7227H2876H3240H1436H1121H296H1121H8227H3414H5030H1263H1121H53747and they went to the land of Egypt because they did not obey the voice of the LORD. They went as far as Tahpanhes.H935H776H4714H8085H6963H3068H935H8471
God’s Sign to the People in Egypt
8Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:H1697H3068H3414H8471H5599"Pick up some large stones and set them in the mortar of the brick pavement that is at the opening of Pharaoh's palace at Tahpanhes. [Do this] in the sight of the Judean menH3947H1419H68H3027H2934H4423H4404H6607H6547H1004H8471H5869H582H306410and tell them: This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will place his throne on these stones that I have embedded, and he will pitch his pavilion over them.H559H559H3068H6635H430H3478H7971H3947H5019H4428H894H5650H7760H3678H4605H68H2934H5186H823711He will come and strike down the land of Egypt— those [destined] for death, to death; those [destined] for captivity, to captivity; and those [destined] for the sword, to the sword.H935H5221H776H4714H4194H4194H7628H7628H2719H271912I will kindle a fire in the temples of Egypt's gods, and he will burn them and take them prisoner. He will clean the land of Egypt as a shepherd picks lice off his garment, and he will leave there unscathed.H3341H784H1004H430H4714H8313H7617H5844H776H4714H7462H5844H899H3318H796513He will smash the sacred pillars of the sun temple in the land of Egypt and burn down the temples of the Egyptian gods."H7665H4676H1053H776H4714H1004H430H4714H8313H784
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
