chapter 43
1
And it
came to pass, that when Jeremias had made an end of speaking to the people all
the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to
them, all these words:
2 Azarias the son of Osaias, and Johanan the son of
Caree, and all the proud men, made answer, saying to Jeremias: Thou tellest a
lie: the Lord our God hath not sent thee, saying: Go not into Egypt, to dwell
there.
3 But Baruch the son of Nerias setteth thee on against
us, to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and to cause us
to be carried away captives to Babylon.
4 So Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of
the soldiers, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to remain
in the land of Juda.
5 But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of
the soldiers took all the remnant of Juda, that were returned out of all
nations, to which they had before been scattered, to dwell in the land of Juda:
6 Men, and women, and children, and the king's
daughters, and every soul, which Nabuzardan the general had left with Godolias
the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Jeremias the prophet, and Baruch the
son of Nerias.
7 And they went Into the land of Egypt, for they obeyed
not the voice of the Lord: and they came as far as Taphnis.
8 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in Taphnis,
saying:
9 Take great stones in thy hand, and thou shalt hide
them in the vault that is under the brick wall at the gate of Pharao's house in
Taphnis: in the sight of the men of Juda.
10 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of
hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will send, and take Nabuchodonosor the king
of Babylon my servant: and I will set his throne over these stones which I have
hid, and he shall set his throne over them.
11 And he shall come and strike the land of Egypt: 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 he shall kindle a fire in the temples of the
gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and he shall carry them away captives:
and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his
garment: and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
13 And he shall break the statues of the house of the
sun, that are in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he
shall burn with fire.
