Jeremiah 50 — UBES
50Verse 1And it came to pass, when Jeremiah ceased speaking to the people all the words of the Lord, for which the Lord had sent him to them, even all these words,Verse 2that Azariah son of Hoshaiah spoke, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the men who had spoken to Jeremiah, saying, It is false: the Lord has not sent thee to us, saying, Enter not into Egypt to dwell there:Verse 3but Baruch the son of Neriah sets thee against us, that thou mayest deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and that we should be carried away captives to Babylon.Verse 4So Johanan, and all the leaders of the host, and all the people, refused to hearken to the voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Judah.Verse 5And Johanan, and all the leaders of the host, took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned to dwell in the land;Verse 6the mighty men, and the women, and the children that were left, and the daughters of the king, and the souls which Nebuzaradan had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.Verse 7And they came into Egypt: for they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord: and they entered into Tahpanhes.Verse 8And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,Verse 9Take thee great stones, and hide them in the entrance, at the gate of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah:Verse 10and thou shalt say, Thus has the Lord said; Behold, I will send, and will bring Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall place his throne upon these stones which thou hast hidden, and he shall lift up weapons against them.Verse 11And he shall enter in, and smite the land of Egypt, delivering some for death to death; and some for captivity to captivity; and some for the sword to the sword.Verse 12And he shall kindle a fire in the houses of their gods, and shall burn them, and shall carry them away captives: and shall search the land of Egypt, as a shepherd searches his garment; and he shall go forth in peace.Verse 13And he shall break to pieces the pillars of Heliopolis that are in On, and shall burn their houses with fire.
