1 And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD [Yahweh] their God, for which the LORD [Yahweh] their God had sent him to them, [even] all these words,
2 Then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, You speak falsely: the LORD [Yahweh] our God has not sent you to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:
3 But Baruch the son of Neriah sets you 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 [Yahweh], 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, where 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 [Yahweh]: thus came they [even] to Tahpanhes.
8 Then came the word of the LORD [Yahweh] to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9 Take great stones in your 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 to them, Thus says the LORD [Yahweh] 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 will spread his royal pavilion over them.
11 And when he comes, he will 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 will burn them, and carry them away captives: and he will array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he will go forth from there in peace.
13 He will break also the images of Bethshemesh, that [is] in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians will he burn with fire.
