1 And it came to pass, that when Jeremi­ah had made an end of speak­ing unto all the peo­ple all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words, 2 Then spake Azari­ah the son of Hosha­iah, and Jo­hanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, say­ing unto Jeremi­ah, Thou speak­est false­ly: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to so­journ there: 3 But Baruch the son of Ne­r­i­ah set­teth thee on against us, for to de­liv­er us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and car­ry us away cap­tives into Baby­lon. 4 So Jo­hanan the son of Kareah, and all the cap­tains of the forces, and all the peo­ple, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Ju­dah. 5 But Jo­hanan the son of Kareah, and all the cap­tains of the forces, took all the rem­nant of Ju­dah, that were re­turned from all na­tions, whith­er they had been driv­en, to dwell in the land of Ju­dah; 6 Even men, and wom­en, and chil­dren, and the king's daugh­ters, and ev­ery per­son that Neb­uzaradan the cap­tain of the guard had left with Gedali­ah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremi­ah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Ne­r­i­ah. 7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tah­pan­hes. 8 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremi­ah in Tah­pan­hes, say­ing, 9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brick­kiln, which is at the en­try of Pharaoh's house in Tah­pan­hes, in the sight of the men of Ju­dah; 10 And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Is­rael; Be­hold, I will send and take Neb­uchadrez­zar the king of Baby­lon, my ser­vant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his roy­al pavil­ion over them. 11 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for cap­tiv­i­ty to cap­tiv­i­ty; and such as are for the sword to the sword. 12 And I will kin­dle a fire in the hous­es of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and car­ry them away cap­tives: and he shall ar­ray him­self with the land of Egypt, as a shep­herd put­teth on his gar­ment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace. 13 He shall break also the im­ages of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the hous­es of the gods of the Egyp­tians shall he burn with fire.
