International Standard Version
The Refugees Reject the Lord’s Instruction
43 When Jeremiah had finished telling all the people all the words that the Lord their God had sent him to tell them—that is, all these words— 2 Hoshaiah’s son Azariah, Kareah’s son Johanan, and all the arrogant men told Jeremiah, “You’re lying! The Lord our God didn’t send you to say, ‘Don’t go to Egypt to settle there.’ 3 Indeed, Neriah’s son Baruch is inciting you against us in order to give us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, or to take us into exile to Babylon.”
