Jeremiah 43:1-7

Jeremiah 43:1-7 TPT

Jeremiah finished telling the crowd what the Lord had commanded him. Then Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and other arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying. YAHWEH our God did not tell you to say to us, ‘Do not go live in Egypt.’ It was Baruch son of Neriah who stirred you up against us to hand us over to the Babylonians to be either killed or deported to Babylon.” So Johanan, all the army officers, and all the people refused to obey YAHWEH’s command to stay in Judah. Instead, Johanan and his military leaders gathered up everyone left in Judah who had come back from all the nations where they had been scattered. They also led off the men, women, children, and the king’s daughters, too, and every single person that Nebuzaradan the field general had left under the charge of Gedaliah son of Ahikam. This included the prophet Jeremiah and Baruch son of Neriah. In total disobedience to the voice of YAHWEH, they entered the land of Egypt and arrived at Tahpanhes.
