Death! Exile! Slaughter!

43When Jeremiah finished telling all the people the whole Message that their GOD had sent him to give them—all these words—H3414H3615H1696H5971H1697H3068H430H3068H430H7971H1697 2Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah, backed by all the self-important men, said to Jeremiah, "Liar! Our GOD never sent you with this message telling us not to go to Egypt and live there.H559H5838H1121H1955H3110H1121H7143H2086H582H559H3414H1696H8267H3068H430H7971H559H935H4714H1481 3Baruch son of Neriah is behind this. He has turned you against us. He's playing into the hands of the Babylonians so we'll either end up being killed or taken off to exile in Babylon."H1263H1121H5374H5496H4616H5414H3027H3778H4191H1540H894 4Johanan son of Kareah and the army officers, and the people along with them, wouldn't listen to GOD's Message that they stay in the land of Judah and live there.H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H5971H8085H6963H3068H3427H776H3063 5Johanan son of Kareah and the army officers gathered up everyone who was left from Judah, who had come back after being scattered all over the place—H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H3947H7611H3063H7725H1471H5080H1481H776H3063 6the men, women, and children, the king's daughters, all the people that Nebuzaradan captain of the bodyguard had left in the care of Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and last but not least, Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah.H1397H802H2945H4428H1323H5315H5018H7227H2876H3240H1436H1121H296H1121H8227H3414H5030H1263H1121H5374 7They entered the land of Egypt in total disobedience of GOD's Message and arrived at the city of Tahpanhes.H935H776H4714H8085H6963H3068H935H8471 8While in Tahpanhes, GOD's Word came to Jeremiah:H1697H3068H3414H8471H559 9"Pick up some large stones and cover them with mortar in the vicinity of the pavement that leads up to the building set aside for Pharaoh's use in Tahpanhes. Make sure some of the men of Judah are watching.H3947H1419H68H3027H2934H4423H4404H6607H6547H1004H8471H5869H582H3064 10"Then address them: 'This is what GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies says: Be on the lookout! I'm sending for and bringing Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon—my servant, mind you!—and he'll set up his throne on these very stones that I've had buried here and he'll spread out his canopy over them.H559H559H3068H6635H430H3478H7971H3947H5019H4428H894H5650H7760H3678H4605H68H2934H5186H8237 11He'll come and absolutely smash Egypt, sending each to his assigned fate: death, exile, slaughter.H935H5221H776H4714H4194H4194H7628H7628H2719H2719 12He'll burn down the temples of Egypt's gods. He'll either burn up the gods or haul them off as booty. Like a shepherd who picks lice from his robes, he'll pick Egypt clean. And then he'll walk away without a hand being laid on him.H3341H784H1004H430H4714H8313H7617H5844H776H4714H7462H5844H899H3318H7965 13He'll shatter the sacred obelisks at Egypt's House of the Sun and make a huge bonfire of the temples of Egypt's gods.'"H7665H4676H1053H776H4714H1004H430H4714H8313H784
