Jeremiah 43:8-13
8Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 in 1TahpanhesH8471, sayingH559,
9“TakeH3947 some largeH1419 stonesH68 in your 2handsH3027 and hideH2934 them in the mortarH4423 in the 3brickH4404 terrace whichH834 is at the entranceH6607 of Pharaoh’sH6547 4palaceH1004 in TahpanhesH8471, in the sightH5869 of 5someH376 of the JewsH3064;
10and sayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “BeholdH2009, I am going to sendH7971 and getH3947 6NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, 7My servantH5650, and I am going to setH7760 his throneH3678 right overH4605 theseH428 stonesH68 that I have hiddenH2934; and he will spreadH5186 his 8canopyH8237 overH5921 them.
11He will also comeH935 and 9strikeH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714; those whoH834 are meant for deathH4194 will be given over to deathH4194, and those for captivityH7628 to captivityH7628, and 10those for the swordH2719 to the swordH2719.
12And 11I shall setH3341 fireH784 to the templesH1004 of the 12godsH430 of EgyptH4714, and he will burnH8313 them and takeH7617 them captiveH7617. So he will 13wrapH5844 himselfH5844 with the landH776 of EgyptH4714 as a shepherdH7462 wrapsH5844 himselfH5844 with his garmentH899, and he will departH3318 from thereH8033 safelyH7965.
13He will also shatterH7665 the 14obelisksH4676 of 15HeliopolisH1053, whichH834 is in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and the templesH1004 of the godsH430 of EgyptH4714 he will burnH8313 with fireH784.”’”
