Jeremiah 43:8-10

8Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in 1Tahpanhes, saying,

9“Take some large stones in your 2hands and hide them in the mortar in the 3brick terrace which is at the entrance of Pharaoh’s 4palace in Tahpanhes, in the sight of 5some of the Jews;

10and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Behold, I am going to send and get 6Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, 7My servant, and I am going to set his throne right over these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his 8canopy over them.
