Jeremiah 43

vayehi kekhallot yirmeyahu ledabber el-kol-ha'am et-kol-divre Adonai elohehem asher shelakho Adonai elohehem alehem et kol-haddevarim ha'elleh

When Jeremiah had finished speaking all these words to all the people—all the words of the ETERNAL their God, with which the ETERNAL their God had sent him to them—

vayyomer azaryah ven-hoshayah veyokhanan ben-qareakh vekhol-ha'anashim hazzedim omerim el-yirmeyahu sheqer attah medabber lo shelakhakha Adonai elohenu lemor lo-tavo'u mitsrayim lagur sham

Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The ETERNAL our God did not send you to say, ‘Don’t go to Egypt and sojourn there’!

ki barukh ben-neriyyah massit otekha banu lema'an tet otanu veyad-hakkasdim lehamit otanu ulehaglot otanu bavel

It is Baruch son of Neriah who is inciting you against us, so that we will be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans to be killed or to be exiled to Babylon!”

velo-shama yokhanan ben-qareakh vekhol-sare hakhayalim vekhol-ha'am beqol Adonai lashevet be'erets yehudah

So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers and the rest of the people did not obey GOD’s command to remain in the land of Judah.

vayyiqqakh yokhanan ben-qareakh vekhol-sare hakhayalim et kol-she'erit yehudah asher-shavu mikkol-haggoyim asher niddekhu-sham lagur be'erets yehudah

Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers took the entire remnant of Judah—those who had returned from all the countries to which they had been scattered and had sojourned in the land of Judah,

et-haggevarim ve'et-hannashim ve'et-hattaf ve'et-benot hammelekh ve'et kol-hannefesh asher hinniakh nevuzaradan rav-tabbakhim et-gedalyahu ben-akhiqam ben-shafan ve'et yirmeyahu hannavi ve'et-barukh ben-neriyyahu

men, women, and children; and the daughters of the king and all the people whom Nebuzaradan the chief of the guards had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, as well as the prophet Jeremiah and Baruch son of Neriah—

vayyavo'u erets mitsrayim ki lo shame'u beqol Adonai vayyavo'u ad-takhpankhes

and they went to Egypt. They did not obey GOD. They arrived at Tahpanhes,

vayehi devar-Adonai el-yirmeyahu betakhpankhes lemor

and the word of GOD came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes:

qakh beyadekha avanim gedolot utemantam bammelet bammalben asher befetakh bet-paroh betakhpankhes le'ene anashim yehudim

Get yourself large stones, and embed them in mortar in the brick structure at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace in Tahpanhes, with some Judeans looking on.

ve'amarta alehem koh-amar Adonai tseva'ot elohe yisra'el hinni sholeakh velaqakhti et-nevukhadretsar melekh-bavel avdi vesamti khiso mimma'al la'avanim ha'elleh asher tamaneti venatah et-[shafriro] (shfrvrv) alehem

And say to them: “Thus said GOD of Hosts, the God of Israel: I am sending for My servant King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones that I have embedded. He will spread out his pavilion over them.

(vvh) [uva] vehikkah et-erets mitsrayim asher lammavet lammavet va'asher lashevi lashevi va'asher lakherev lekharev

He will come and attack the land of Egypt, delivering Those destined for the plague, to the plague, Those destined for captivity, to captivity, And those destined for the sword, to the sword.

vehitsatti esh bevatte elohe mitsrayim userafam veshavam ve'atah et-erets mitsrayim ka'asher-yateh haro'eh et-bigdo veyatsa misham beshalom

And I will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt; he will burn them down and carry them off. He shall wrap himself up in the land of Egypt, as a shepherd wraps himself up in his garment. And he shall depart from there in safety.

veshibbar et-matsevot bet shemesh asher be'erets mitsrayim ve'et-batte elohe-mitsrayim yisrof ba'esh

He shall smash the obelisks of the Temple of the Sun that is in the land of Egypt, and he shall burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.”
