Context of Jeremiah 43:2
1Jeremiah finished telling the people the Lord's message to them. He told them everything that the Lord their God had sent him to tell them. Then Hoshaiah's son Azariah and Kareah's son Johanan and some other proud men said to Jeremiah, ‘You are speaking lies! The Lord our God has not sent you to say to us, “You must not go to Egypt to live there.” 3You are telling us what Neriah's son Baruch wants you to say. He wants to hurt us. He wants the soldiers from Babylon to kill us, or to take us as prisoners to Babylon.’ 4So Kareah's son Johanan, all the other army officers and all the other people did not obey the Lord's command. They refused to stay in Judah.
