Jeremiah 43:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

The Lord our God did not send you to say, “Do not go to Egypt to settle there”; 3 but Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us, to hand us over to the Chaldeans, in order that they may kill us or take us into exile in Babylon.’ 4 So Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces and all the people did not obey the voice of the Lord, to stay in the land of Judah.
