Off to Egypt with Jeremiah and Baruch
43 When Jeremiah finished telling the people all the words of the Lord their God—he didn’t omit anything the Lord sent him to convey— 2 Azariah, Hoshaiah’s son, and Johanan, Kareah’s son, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You’re lying to us! The Lord our God didn’t send you to tell us not to go to Egypt to live. 3 It’s Baruch, Neriah’s son, who put you up to it so that we end up in the hands of the Babylonians, who will either kill us or deport us to Babylon.”
4 So Johanan, Kareah’s son, and all the army officers and the rest of the people disobeyed the Lord’s command to stay in the land of Judah. 5 Johanan, Kareah’s son, and all the army officers took the remaining Judeans who had returned to the land of Judah after being scattered among the nations— 6 men, women, children, the king’s daughters, everyone Nebuzaradan the captain of the special guard had left with Gedaliah, Ahikam’s son and Shaphan’s grandson, including Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch, Neriah’s son. 7 They went to the land of Egypt, as far as Tahpanhes, for they wouldn’t obey the Lord.
8 The Lord’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes: 9 Take some large stones and set them in the clay pavement[a] in front of Pharaoh’s palace in Tahpanhes while the people of Judah are watching. 10 After that, say to the people: The Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims: I’m sending for my servant King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who[b] will set his throne over these stones and will spread his canopy over them. 11 He will come and ravage the land of Egypt:
those marked for disaster, to disaster,
and those marked for exile, to exile.
and those marked for war, to war.
12 He will set on fire[c] the temples of the Egyptian gods. He will burn them down and carry off their gods. He will wrap the land of Egypt around himself, just as a shepherd wraps[d] his garment around himself, and he will move on unharmed.[e] 13 He will shatter the sacred pillars in the temple of the sun in Egypt and burn down the temples of the Egyptian gods.

De mensen gaan tóch naar Egypte
43 Zo vertelde ik hun het hele antwoord van hun Heer God. 2 Toen zeiden Azarja, Johanan en die andere trotse aanvoerders tegen mij: "Je liegt! Onze Heer God heeft niet tegen je gezegd dat we niet naar Egypte moeten gaan. 3 Maar je schrijver Baruch stookt jou tegen ons op. Hij hoopt dat we ons aan de Babyloniërs zullen overgeven, zodat zij ons zullen doden of gevangen meenemen naar Babel." 4 En ze weigerden allemaal om de Heer te gehoorzamen. Ze wilden niet in Juda blijven. 5 Johanan en de legeraanvoerders namen alle mensen mee die in Juda waren overgebleven. Ook de Judeeërs die eerst naar andere landen gevlucht waren en die teruggekomen waren naar Juda. 6 Ze namen iedereen mee: mannen, vrouwen en kinderen, de dochters van de koning en alle mensen die Nebuzaradan, de aanvoerder van de lijfwacht, bij Gedalja had achtergelaten. Ook mij en Baruch namen ze mee. 7 Ze gingen naar Egypte en deden niet wat de Heer gezegd had. Zo kwamen ze bij de stad Tachpanes.
8 Toen we daar aankwamen, zei de Heer tegen mij: 9 "Raap een paar grote stenen op. Verberg die in de lemen vloer onder de tegels vóór het paleis van de farao in Tachpenes. Zorg dat de mannen uit Juda zien wat je doet. 10 Zeg dan tegen hen: Dit zegt de Heer van de hemelse legers, de God van Israël: Ik zal mijn dienaar, koning Nebukadnezar van Babel, laten komen. Hij zal zijn troon neerzetten bovenop deze stenen die Ik hier verborgen heb. Hij zal zijn koninklijke legertent over deze plek heen zetten. 11 Want hij zal komen en Egypte veroveren. Een deel van de mensen zal sterven aan de pest. Een deel van de mensen zal sterven in Babel. En een deel van de mensen zal sterven door het zwaard. 12 Hij zal de tempels van de Egyptische goden in brand steken en de godenbeelden meenemen als buit. Hij zal Egypte met net zoveel gemak veroveren als dat een herder zijn jas aantrekt. Daarna zal hij vertrekken zonder dat iemand hem tegenhoudt. 13 Hij zal de godenbeelden van de zonnetempel in Bet-Semes in Egypte stukslaan en de tempels van de Egyptische goden in brand steken."

43 When Jeremiah had finished telling the people all the words of the Lord their God—everything the Lord had sent him to tell them(A)— 2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah(B) and Johanan(C) son of Kareah and all the arrogant(D) men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying!(E) The Lord our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to settle there.’(F) 3 But Baruch(G) son of Neriah is inciting you against us to hand us over to the Babylonians,[a] so they may kill us or carry us into exile to Babylon.”(H)
4 So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers and all the people(I) disobeyed the Lord’s command(J) to stay in the land of Judah.(K) 5 Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers led away all the remnant of Judah who had come back to live in the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been scattered.(L) 6 They also led away all those whom Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan—the men, the women,(M) the children and the king’s daughters. And they took Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch(N) son of Neriah along with them. 7 So they entered Egypt(O) in disobedience to the Lord and went as far as Tahpanhes.(P)
8 In Tahpanhes(Q) the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 9 “While the Jews are watching, take some large stones(R) with you and bury them in clay in the brick(S) pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace(T) in Tahpanhes. 10 Then say to them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will send for my servant(U) Nebuchadnezzar(V) king of Babylon, and I will set his throne(W) over these stones I have buried here; he will spread his royal canopy(X) above them. 11 He will come and attack Egypt,(Y) bringing death(Z) to those destined(AA) for death, captivity to those destined for captivity,(AB) and the sword to those destined for the sword.(AC) 12 He will set fire(AD) to the temples(AE) of the gods(AF) of Egypt; he will burn their temples and take their gods captive.(AG) As a shepherd picks(AH) his garment clean of lice, so he will pick Egypt clean and depart. 13 There in the temple of the sun[b](AI) in Egypt he will demolish the sacred pillars(AJ) and will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.’”
