Jeremiah 43:1–7

And then,^a when Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, for which Yahweh their God had sent him to them with all these words, ²Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the insolent men spoke,^b saying to Jeremiah, “You are telling a lie! Yahweh our God did not send you, saying,^c ‘You must not go to Egypt to dwell as aliens there.’ ³But Baruch the son of Neriah is inciting you against us in order to give us into the hand of the Chaldeans, to kill us and to deport us to Babylon.”

⁴So Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies, and all the people did not listen^d to the voice of Yahweh to stay in the land of Judah. ⁵But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies took^e all the remnant of Judah who had returned from all the nations to which they had been scattered to dwell as aliens in the land of Judah— ⁶the men, and the women, and the little children, and the daughters of the king, and everyone^f whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard^g had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah— ⁷and they came into the land of Egypt, for they did not listen to the voice of Yahweh. And they came up to Tahpanhes.
