Context of Jeremiah 43:10

8Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes: 9“Pick up some large stones and set them in the mortar of the brick pavement that is at the opening of Pharaoh’s palace at Tahpanhes. Do this in the sight of the Judean men and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: I will send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will place his throne on these stones that I have embedded, and he will pitch his pavilion over them. 11He will come and strike down the land of Egypt — those destined for death, to death; those destined for captivity, to captivity; and those destined for the sword, to the sword. 12I will kindle a fire in the temples of Egypt’s gods, and he will burn them and take them captive. He will clean the land of Egypt as a shepherd picks lice off his clothes, and he will leave there unscathed.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10My servant - See Jeremiah 25:9 note. That I have hid - i. e., that I have embedded in the mortar by the instrumentality of my prophet. Pavilion - Rather, canopy.

He will punish those who deceive his professing people, or tempt them to rebellion.Read the comment
