Jeremiah 43:1-7

Jeremiah 43:1-7

[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  saying  unto Jeremiah,  Thou speakest  falsely:  the LORD  our God  hath not sent  thee to say,  Go  not into Egypt  to sojourn  [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.
