1So, Jeremiah drops all the words from God to the squad, like, “This is what the Lord says, fr.”

2Then Azariah and Johanan, plus the proud crew, were like, “Nah, Jeremiah, you’re capping. God didn’t send you to tell us not to bounce to Egypt.”

3But Baruch, Neriah's dude, is totally sus, trying to hand us over to the Chaldeans to get wrecked and taken to Babylon.

4So Johanan and the captains, plus the whole vibe, ignored what the Lord said and didn’t chill in Judah.

5But Johanan and the captains scooped up all the remnant of Judah who came back from all the places they got sent to, ready to vibe in Judah.

6They brought men, women, kids, and the king’s daughters, plus everyone Nebuzar–adan left with Gedaliah and Jeremiah and Baruch.

7So they rolled into Egypt, ignoring what the Lord said, and ended up in Tahpanhes.

8Then the Lord hit up Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9“Grab some big stones and hide them in the clay at Pharaoh’s crib in Tahpanhes, where the Judah crew can see.”

10And tell them, “The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says, ‘I’m sending Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, my dude, to set up his throne on these stones I hid; he’s gonna flex over them.’”

11When he rolls in, he’s gonna wreck Egypt, sending those for death to death, those for captivity to captivity, and those for the sword to the sword.

12I’ll light a fire in the houses of Egypt’s gods; he’s gonna burn them and take off with captives, draping Egypt like a shepherd in fresh threads, rolling out in peace.

13He’s gonna smash the images of Beth–shemesh in Egypt and set the houses of their gods on fire.

1And 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,

2Then 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:

3But 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.

4So 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.

5But 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;

6Even men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzar–adan 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.

7So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.

8Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9Take 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;

10And 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.

11And 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.

12And 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.

13He shall break also the images of Beth–shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
