Jeremiah Chapter 43
So Jeremiah spilled all the tea from God to the crew, saying, “This is what the Lord is laying down, fr.”
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,
Then Azariah and Johanan, along with the confident squad, were like, “Nah, Jeremiah, you’re just playing. God didn’t send you to tell us to not dip to Egypt.”
Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:
But Baruch, Neriah's homie, is super sus, trying to throw us to the Chaldeans to get wrecked and dragged to Babylon.
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.
So Johanan and the captains, plus the entire vibe, ghosted what the Lord said and didn’t stick around in Judah.
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.
But Johanan and the captains scooped up all the leftover Judah peeps who came back from their various spots, ready to chill in Judah.
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;
They grabbed men, women, kids, and the king’s daughters, plus everyone Nebuzar–adan left with Gedaliah and Jeremiah and Baruch.
{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.
So they rolled into Egypt, ignoring what the Lord had said, and landed in Tahpanhes.
So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they {even} to Tahpanhes.
Then the Lord slid into Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
“Snag some hefty stones and bury them in the clay at Pharaoh’s pad in Tahpanhes, where the Judah crew can spot them.”
Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which {is} at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
And tell them, “The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is saying, ‘I’m sending Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, my guy, to set up his throne on these stones I buried; he’s gonna flex on them.’”
And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
When he shows up, he’s gonna wreck Egypt, sending those marked for death to death, those marked for captivity to captivity, and those marked for the sword to the sword.
And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, {and deliver} 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.
I’ll spark a fire in the homes of Egypt’s deities; he’s gonna torch them and roll out with captives, draping Egypt like a shepherd in fresh fits, bailing out in peace.
And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and 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.
He’s gonna wreck the idols of Beth–shemesh in Egypt and set the houses of their gods ablaze.
He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that {is} in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire. {images: Heb. statues, or, standing images} {Bethshemesh: or, The house of the sun}
