So Jeremiah finished telling the people the message from the LORD their God; he told them everything the LORD their God had sent him to tell them. Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and some other men were too proud. They said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The LORD our God did not send you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to live there.’ Baruch son of Neriah is causing you to be against us. He wants you to hand us over to the Babylonians so they can kill us or capture us and take us to Babylon.” So Johanan, the army officers, and all the people disobeyed the LORD’s command to stay in Judah. But Johanan son of Kareah and the army officers led away those who were left alive from Judah. They were the people who had run away from the Babylonians to other countries but then had come back to live in Judah.
