Context of Jeremiah 43:3

1When Jeremiah had finished giving this message from the Lord their God to all the people, 2Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the other proud men said to Jeremiah, “You lie! The Lord our God hasn’t forbidden us to go to Egypt! Baruch son of Neriah has convinced you to say this, because he wants us to stay here and be killed by the Babylonians or be carried off into exile.” 4So Johanan and the other military leaders and all the people refused to obey the Lord’s command to stay in Judah. 5Johanan and the other leaders took with them all the people who had returned from the nearby countries to which they had fled.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 33. Baruch--He being the younger spake out the revelations which he received from Jeremiah more vehemently.
