You're telling a lie

And when Jeremiah had finished telling all the people all the words of the LORD their God, everything the LORD their God had sent him to tell them — all these words — Then Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the proud men said to Jeremiah: You're telling a lie. The LORD our God hasn't sent you to say, Don't go into Egypt to live there. But Baruch son of Neriah has set you against us, to hand us over to the Chaldeans so they kill us and carry us off to Babylon. So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders and all the people didn't listen to the voice of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah. But Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took all the survivors of Judah who'd come back from all the nations they'd been driven to, to live in the land of Judah — The men and the women and the children and the king's daughters and everyone Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah — And they went into the land of Egypt, because they didn't listen to the voice of the LORD. And they came to Tahpanhes.

And when Jeremiah had finished telling all the people all the words of the Lord their God, everything the Lord their God had sent him to tell them — all these words — then Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the proud men said to Jeremiah: You're telling a lie. The Lord our God hasn't sent you to say, Don't go into Egypt to live there. But Baruch son of Neriah has set you against us, to hand us over to the Chaldeans so they kill us and carry us off to Babylon. So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders and all the people didn't listen to the voice of the Lord to stay in the land of Judah. But Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took all the remnant of Judah who'd come back from all the nations they'd been driven to, to live in the land of Judah — the men and the women and the children and the king's daughters and everyone Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah — and they went into the land of Egypt, because they didn't listen to the voice of the Lord. And they came to Tahpanhes.

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, 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: 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. 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. 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; 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. So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.

The stones at Tahpanhes

Then the LORD spoke to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes: Take some big stones in your hand and hide them in the clay in the brick pavement at the entrance of Pharaoh's house at Tahpanhes, with the men of Judah watching. Tell them, “This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will send for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, my servant, and set his throne on these stones I have hidden. He will spread his royal pavilion over them. And he'll come and strike the land of Egypt, and hand over whoever's for death to death, whoever's for captivity to captivity, and whoever's for the sword to the sword. And I'll light a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he'll burn them and carry them off. And he'll wrap himself in the land of Egypt the way a shepherd wraps himself in his cloak, and he'll go out of there in peace. He'll break the pillars of Beth Shemesh in the land of Egypt, and he'll burn the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.

And tell them: This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says. Look — I'll send and get Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon my servant, and I'll set his throne on these stones I've hidden. And he'll spread his royal canopy over them. And he'll come and strike the land of Egypt, and hand over whoever's for death to death, whoever's for captivity to captivity, and whoever's for the sword to the sword. And I'll light a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he'll burn them and carry them off.

Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 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; 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. 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. 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. 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.
