Jeremiah 43:2-7

2Azariah the 1son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are 2telling a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say, ‘You are not to enter Egypt to reside there’; 3but 3Baruch 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 4Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces, and all the people, 5did not obey the voice of the Lord to 6stay in the land of Judah. 5Instead, Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces took the 7entire 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 8children, the 9king’s daughters, and 10every person whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam 11and grandson of Shaphan, together with 12Jeremiah 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 13Tahpanhes.
