* And it came to pass , when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of Yahweh their God , with which Yahweh their God had sent him unto them , even all these words , * then spake Azariah son of Hoshaiah , and Johanan son of Kareah , and all the proud men , saying unto Jeremiah Falsely , art thou speaking , Yahweh our God hath not sent thee to say , Ye shall not enter Egypt to sojourn there ; * but Baruch son of Neriah , is goading thee on against us , that he may deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans , to put us to death , or take us away captive to Babylon . * So Johanan son of Kareah , and all the captains of the forces and all the people , hearkened not , unto the voice of Yahweh , by remaining in the land of Judah ; * but Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah , who had returned , out of all the nations whither they had been driven to sojourn in the land of Judah : * both the men and the women and the children , and the daughters of the king , and every soul that Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had left , with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan , and Jeremiah the prophet , and Baruch son of Neriah ; * and entered the land of Egypt , for they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh , yea entered as far as Tahpanhes . * Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah , in Tahpanhes , saying : * Take in thy hand great stones and hide them in the mortar that is in the brickyard which is at the entrance of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes , before the eyes of the men of Judah . * Then shalt thou say unto them Thus , saith Yahweh of hosts , God of Israel Behold me ! sending and fetching Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon , my servant , and I will set his throne over these stones which I have hid , and he shall spread his canopy over them . * And when he entereth , then will he smite the land of Egypt and deliver Him who is for death to death and Him who is for captivity to captivity , and Him who is for the sword to the sword . * So will I kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt , and he shall burn them and carry them away Captive , and shall wrap the land of Egypt about him , just as a shepherd , wrappeth about , him his garment , and shall go forth from thence in peace ; * And he shall break in pieces the pillars of Beth-shemesh , which is in the land of Egypt , And the houses of the gods of Egypt , shall he burn with fire .
