In
Egypt Jeremiah Warns of Judgment |
|
|
 |
| Jeremiah 43:1 |
|
But as soon as Jeremiah, whom the LORD their
God had sent, had finished telling all the people all the words of the LORD their
God--that is, all these words-- |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:2 |
|
Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the
son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, "You are telling a lie!
The LORD our God has not sent you to say, 'You are not to enter Egypt to reside
there'; |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:3 |
|
but Baruch the son of Neriah is inciting you
against us to give us over into the hand of the Chaldeans, so they will put us
to death or exile us to Babylon." |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:4 |
|
So Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders
of the forces, and all the people, did not obey the voice of the LORD to stay
in the land of Judah. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:5 |
|
But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders
of the forces took the entire remnant of Judah who had returned from all the nations
to which they had been driven away, in order to reside in the land of Judah--
|
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:6 |
|
the men, the women, the children, the king's
daughters and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard had left
with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, together with Jeremiah
the prophet and Baruch the son of Neriah-- |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:7 |
|
and they entered the land of Egypt (for they
did not obey the voice of the LORD) and went in as far as Tahpanhes. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:8 |
|
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in
Tahpanhes, saying, |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:9 |
|
"Take some large stones in your hands and hide
them in the mortar in the brick terrace which is at the entrance of Pharaoh's
palace in Tahpanhes, in the sight of some of the Jews; |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:10 |
|
and say to them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel, "Behold, I am going to send and get Nebuchadnezzar the king
of Babylon, My servant, and I am going to set his throne right over these stones
that I have hidden; and he will spread his canopy over them. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:11 |
|
"He will also come and strike the land of Egypt;
those who are meant for death will be given over to death, and those for captivity
to captivity, and those for the sword to the sword. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:12 |
|
"And I shall set fire to the temples of the
gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will wrap himself
with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself with his garment, and he will
depart from there safely. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 43:13 |
|
"He will also shatter the obelisks of Heliopolis,
which is in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he will burn
with fire."'" |
