Jeremiah 43 :: New International Version (NIV)

Jer 43:1

Jer 43:1When Jeremiah had finished telling the people all the words of the LORD their God—everything the LORD had sent him to tell them—

Jer 43:2

Jer 43:2Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to settle there.’

Jer 43:3

Jer 43:3But Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to hand us over to the Babylonians,[fn] so they may kill us or carry us into exile to Babylon.”

Jer 43:4

Jer 43:4So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers and all the people disobeyed the LORD’s command to stay in the land of Judah.

Jer 43:5

Jer 43:5Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers led away all the remnant of Judah who had come back to live in the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been scattered.

Jer 43:6

Jer 43:6They also led away all those whom Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan—the men, the women, the children and the king’s daughters. And they took Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah along with them.

Jer 43:7

Jer 43:7So they entered Egypt in disobedience to the LORD and went as far as Tahpanhes.

Jer 43:8

Jer 43:8In Tahpanhes the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

Jer 43:9

Jer 43:9“While the Jews are watching, take some large stones with you and bury them in clay in the brick pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace in Tahpanhes.

Jer 43:10

Jer 43:10Then say to them, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones I have buried here; he will spread his royal canopy above them.

Jer 43:11

Jer 43:11He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and the sword to those destined for the sword.

Jer 43:12

Jer 43:12He will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt; he will burn their temples and take their gods captive. As a shepherd picks his garment clean of lice, so he will pick Egypt clean and depart.

Jer 43:13

Jer 43:13There in the temple of the sun[fn] in Egypt he will demolish the sacred pillars and will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.’ ”
