Book 13 : NEVIIM - JEREMIAH - Chapter 043
43:001
And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of
speaking unto all the people all the words of HaShem their G-d, wherewith HaShem
their G-d had sent him to them, even all these words
43:002
then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son
of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah: 'Thou speakest falsely;
HaShem our G-d hath not sent thee to say: Ye shall not go into Egypt to sojourn
there
43:003
but Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, to
deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and
carry us away captives to Babylon.
43:004
So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the
forces, and all the people, hearkened not to the voice of HaShem, to dwell in
the land of Judah
43:005
But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the
forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all the nations
whither they had been driven to sojourn in the land of Judah
43:006
the men, and the women, and the 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
43:007
and they came into the land of Egypt; for they hearkened
not to the voice of HaShem; and they came even to Tahpanhes
43:008
Then came the word of HaShem unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes,
saying
43:009
'Take great stones in thy hand, and hide them in the mortar
in the framework, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the
sight of the men of Judah
43:010
and say unto them: Thus saith HaShem of hosts, the G-d 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
43:011
And he shall come, and shall smite the land of Egypt; 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
43:012
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 fold
up the land of Egypt, as a shepherd foldeth up his garment; and he shall go
forth from thence in peace
43:013
He shall also break the pillars of Beth-shemesh, that is
in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with
fire.
