Jeremiah 43:1-7

1But as soon as Jeremiah, whom the Lord their God had sent to them, had 1finished telling all the people all the words of the Lord their God--that is, all these words-- 2Azariah the 2son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are 3telling a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say, ‘You are not to enter Egypt to reside there’; 3but 4Baruch the son of Neriah is inciting you against us in order to hand us over to the Chaldeans, so they will put us to death or exile us to Babylon!” 4So 5Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces, and all the people, 6did not obey the voice of the Lord to 7stay in the land of Judah. 5Instead, Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces took the 8entire remnant of Judah who had returned from all the nations to which they had been scattered, in order to reside in the land of Judah-- 6the men, the women, the 9children, the 10king’s daughters, and 11every person whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam 12and grandson of Shaphan, together with 13Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch the son of Neriah-- 7and they entered the land of Egypt (for they did not obey the voice of the Lord) and went in as far as 14Tahpanhes.
