Jeremiah 43:8-13
New American Standard Bible
8 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in (A)Tahpanhes, saying, 9 “Take some large stones in your [a]hands and hide them in the [b]mortar in the brick terrace which is at the entrance of Pharaoh’s [c]palace in Tahpanhes, in the sight of [d]some of the Jews; 10 and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I am going to send men and get (B)My servant (C)Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and I am going to set his throne over these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his [e](D)canopy over them. 11 He will also come and (E)strike the land of Egypt; those who are meant for death will be given over to death, and those for captivity to captivity, and (F)those for the sword to the sword. 12 And [f]I shall set fire to the temples of the (G)gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will [g](H)wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd [h]wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely. 13 He will also smash to pieces the [i]obelisks of [j]Heliopolis, which is in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he will burn with fire.”’”

God’s Sign to the People in Egypt
8 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes: 9 “Pick up some large stones and set them in the mortar of the brick pavement that is at the opening of Pharaoh’s palace at Tahpanhes. Do this in the sight of the Judean men 10 and tell them: This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will place his throne on these stones that I have embedded, and he will pitch his pavilion over them. 11 He will come and strike down the land of Egypt(A)—those destined for death, to death; those destined for captivity, to captivity; and those destined for the sword,(B) to the sword. 12 I[a] will kindle a fire in the temples of Egypt’s gods,(C) and he will burn them and take them prisoner. He will clean the land of Egypt as a shepherd picks lice off[b] his garment,(D) and he will leave there unscathed. 13 He will smash the sacred pillars of the sun temple[c][d] in the land of Egypt and burn down the temples of the Egyptian gods.”

8 In Tahpanhes(A) the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 9 “While the Jews are watching, take some large stones(B) with you and bury them in clay in the brick(C) pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace(D) in Tahpanhes. 10 Then say to them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will send for my servant(E) Nebuchadnezzar(F) king of Babylon, and I will set his throne(G) over these stones I have buried here; he will spread his royal canopy(H) above them. 11 He will come and attack Egypt,(I) bringing death(J) to those destined(K) for death, captivity to those destined for captivity,(L) and the sword to those destined for the sword.(M) 12 He will set fire(N) to the temples(O) of the gods(P) of Egypt; he will burn their temples and take their gods captive.(Q) As a shepherd picks(R) his garment clean of lice, so he will pick Egypt clean and depart. 13 There in the temple of the sun[a](S) in Egypt he will demolish the sacred pillars(T) and will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.’”
