Jeremiah 43

1 Johanan, discrediting Jeremiah's prophecy, carrieth Jeremiah and others into Egypt. 8 Jeremiah prophesieth by a type the conquest of Egypt by the Babylonians.

 43:1 But as soon as Jeremiah 3414, whom 834 the LORD 3068 their God 430 had sent 7971, had finished 3615 telling 1696 all 3605 the people 5971a all 3605 the words 1697 of the LORD 3068 their God 430—that is, all 3605 these 428 words 1697—

 43:2 Azariah 5838 the son 1121 of Hoshaiah 1955, and Johanan 3076 the son 1121 of Kareah 7143, and all 3605 the arrogant 2086 men 376 said 559 to Jeremiah 3414, “You are telling 1696 a lie 8267! The LORD 3068 our God 430 has not sent 7971 you to say 559, ‘You are not to enter 935 Egypt 4714 to reside 1481a there 8033’;

 43:3 but Baruch 1263 the son 1121 of Neriah 5374 is inciting 5496 you against us to give 5414 us over into the hand 3027 of the Chaldeans 3778, so they will put 4191 us to death 4191 or exile 1540 us to Babylon 894.”

 43:4 So Johanan 3076 the son 1121 of Kareah 7143 and all 3605 the commanders 8269 of the forces 2428, and all 3605 the people 5971a, did not obey 8085 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 to stay 3427 in the land 776 of Judah 3063.

 43:5 But Johanan 3076 the son 1121 of Kareah 7143 and all 3605 the commanders 8269 of the forces 2428 took 3947 the entire 3605 remnant 7611 of Judah 3063 who 834 had returned 7725 from all 3605 the nations 1471 to which 834 they had been driven 5080 away 5080, in order to reside 1481a in the land 776 of Judah 3063—

 43:6 the men 1397, the women 802, the children 2945, the king’s 4428 daughters 1323 and every 3605 person 5315 that Nebuzaradan 5018 the captain 7227b of the bodyguard 2876 had left 5117 with Gedaliah 1436b the son 1121 of Ahikam 296 and grandson 1121 of Shaphan 8227b, together with Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 and Baruch 1263 the son 1121 of Neriah 5374—

 43:7 and they entered 935 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 (for they did not obey 8085 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068) and went 935 in as far 5704 as Tahpanhes 8471.

 43:8 ¶ Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to Jeremiah 3414 in Tahpanhes 8471, saying 559,

 43:9 “Take 3947 [some] large 1419 stones 68 in your hands 3027 and hide 2934 them in the mortar 4423 in the brick 4404 [terrace] which 834 is at the entrance 6607 of Pharaoh’s 6547 palace 1004 in Tahpanhes 8471, in the sight 5869 of some 376 [of the] Jews 3064;

 43:10 and say 559 to them, ‘Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478, “Behold 2009, I am going to send 7971 and get 3947 Nebuchadnezzar 5019 the king 4428 of Babylon 894, My servant 5650, and I am going to set 7760 his throne 3678 [right] over 4605 these 428 stones 68 that I have hidden 2934; and he will spread 5186 his canopy 8237 over 5921 them.

 43:11 “He will also come 935 and strike 5221 the land 776 of Egypt 4714; those who 834 are [meant] for death 4194 [will be given over] to death 4194, and those for captivity 7628b to captivity 7628b, and those for the sword 2719 to the sword 2719.

 43:12 “And I shall set 3341 fire 784 to the temples 1004 of the gods 430 of Egypt 4714, and he will burn 8313 them and take 7617 them captive 7617. So he will wrap 5844a himself 5844a with the land 776 of Egypt 4714 as a shepherd 7462a wraps 5844a himself 5844a with his garment 899b, and he will depart 3318 from there 8033 safely 7965.

 43:13 “He will also shatter 7665 the obelisks 4676 of Heliopolis 1053, which 834 is in the land 776 of Egypt 4714; and the temples 1004 of the gods 430 of Egypt 4714 he will burn 8313 with fire 784.”’”
