Jeremiah 43:1–7

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; ²then spake Azariah the son of ^aHoshaiah, and ^bJohanan the son of Kareah, and all the ^cproud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, ^dGo not into Egypt to sojourn there: ³but ^eBaruch the son of Neriah ^fsetteth thee on against us, ^gfor to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon. ⁴So ^bJohanan the son of Kareah, and ^hall the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Judah. ⁵But ^bJohanan the son of Kareah, and ^hall the captains of the forces, took ⁱall the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah: ⁶Even ^kmen, and ^kwomen, and children, and ^lthe king’s daughters, and every person that ^mNebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and ^eBaruch the son of Neriah. ⁷So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: thus came they even to ⁿTahpanhes.
