1	And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end# of speaking# unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent# him to them, even all these words,
			2	Then spake# Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying# unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest# falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent# thee to say# , Go# not into Egypt to sojourn# there:
			3	But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on# against us, for to deliver# us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death# , and carry us away captives# into Babylon.
			4	So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed# not the voice of the LORD, to dwell# in the land of Judah.
			5	But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took# all the remnant of Judah, that were returned# from all nations, whither they had been driven# , to dwell# in the land of Judah;
			6	Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left# with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
			7	So they came# into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed# not the voice of the LORD: thus came# they even to Tahpanhes.
			8	Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying# ,
			9	Take# great stones in thine hand, and hide# them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
			10	And say# unto them, Thus saith# the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send# and take# Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set# his throne upon these stones that I have hid# ; and he shall spread# his royal pavilion over them.
			11	And when he cometh# , he shall smite# the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword.
			12	And I will kindle# a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn# them, and carry them away captives# : and he shall array# himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd# putteth on# his garment; and he shall go forth# from thence in peace.
			13	He shall break# also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn# with fire. [images: Heb. statues, or, standing images] [Bethshemesh: or, The house of the sun]
