Jeremiah 43:2

Read in context

Jeremiah 43:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 When Jeremiah had finished telling all the people all the words of the LORD their God—everything that the LORD had sent him to say—

2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to reside there.’

3 Rather, Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, so that they may put us to death or exile us to Babylon!”

4 So Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces disobeyed the command of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah.
