43When Jeremiah finished telling all the people the whole Message that their GOD had sent him to give them—all these words—H3414H3615H1696H5971H1697H3068H430H3068H430H7971H16972Azariah 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.H559H5838H1121H1955H3110H1121H7143H2086H582H559H3414H1696H8267H3068H430H7971H559H935H4714H14813Baruch 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."H1263H1121H5374H5496H4616H5414H3027H3778H4191H1540H8944Johanan 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.H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H5971H8085H6963H3068H3427H776H30635Johanan 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—H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H3947H7611H3063H7725H1471H5080H1481H776H30636the 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.H1397H802H2945H4428H1323H5315H5018H7227H2876H3240H1436H1121H296H1121H8227H3414H5030H1263H1121H53747They entered the land of Egypt in total disobedience of GOD's Message and arrived at the city of Tahpanhes.H935H776H4714H8085H6963H3068H935H84718While in Tahpanhes, GOD's Word came to Jeremiah:H1697H3068H3414H8471H5599"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.H3947H1419H68H3027H2934H4423H4404H6607H6547H1004H8471H5869H582H306410"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.H559H559H3068H6635H430H3478H7971H3947H5019H4428H894H5650H7760H3678H4605H68H2934H5186H823711He'll come and absolutely smash Egypt, sending each to his assigned fate: death, exile, slaughter.H935H5221H776H4714H4194H4194H7628H7628H2719H271912He'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.H3341H784H1004H430H4714H8313H7617H5844H776H4714H7462H5844H899H3318H796513He'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
