Jeremiah Is Taken to Egypt

43I finished telling the people everything that the LORD their God had sent me to tell them.H3414H3615H1696H5971H1697H3068H430H3068H430H7971H1697
2Then Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the other arrogant men said to me, "You are lying. The LORD our God did not send you to tell us not to go and live in Egypt.H559H5838H1121H1955H3110H1121H7143H2086H582H559H3414H1696H8267H3068H430H7971H559H935H4714H1481
3Baruch son of Neriah has stirred you up against us, so that the Babylonians will gain power over us and can either kill us or take us away to Babylonia."H1263H1121H5374H5496H4616H5414H3027H3778H4191H1540H894
4So neither Johanan nor any of the army officers nor any of the people would obey the LORD's command to remain in the land of Judah.H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H5971H8085H6963H3068H3427H776H3063
5Then Johanan and all the army officers took everybody left in Judah away to Egypt, together with all the people who had returned from the nations where they had been scattered:H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H3947H7611H3063H7725H1471H5080H1481H776H3063
6the men, the women, the children, and the king's daughters. They took everyone whom Nebuzaradan the commanding officer had left under the care of Gedaliah, including Baruch and me.H1397H802H2945H4428H1323H5315H5018H7227H2876H3240H1436H1121H296H1121H8227H3414H5030H1263H1121H5374
7They disobeyed the LORD's command and went into Egypt as far as the city of Tahpanhes.H935H776H4714H8085H6963H3068H935H8471
8There the LORD said to me,H1697H3068H3414H8471H559
9"Get some large stones and bury them in the mortar of the pavement in front of the entrance to the government building here in the city, and let some of the Israelites see you do it.H3947H1419H68H3027H2934H4423H4404H6607H6547H1004H8471H5869H582H3064
10Then tell them that I, the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, am going to bring my servant King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia to this place, and he will put his throne over these stones that you buried, and will spread the royal tent over them.H559H559H3068H6635H430H3478H7971H3947H5019H4428H894H5650H7760H3678H4605H68H2934H5186H8237
11Nebuchadnezzar will come and defeat Egypt. Those people who are doomed to die of disease will die of disease, those doomed to be taken away as prisoners will be taken away as prisoners, and those doomed to be killed in war will be killed in war.H935H5221H776H4714H4194H4194H7628H7628H2719H2719
12I will set fire to the temples of Egypt's gods, and the king of Babylonia will either burn their gods or carry them off. As shepherds pick their clothes clean of lice, so the king of Babylonia will pick the land of Egypt clean and then leave victorious.H3341H784H1004H430H4714H8313H7617H5844H776H4714H7462H5844H899H3318H7965
13He will destroy the sacred stone monuments at Heliopolis in Egypt and will burn down the temples of the Egyptian gods."H7665H4676H1053H776H4714H1004H430H4714H8313H784
