Jeremiah, 43

1. 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,

1. Jeremiah had hardly finished giving the message of Yahweh to the people - all that Yahweh had sent him to say -

2. 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:

2. when Azariah son of Hoshiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, "You are lying! Yahweh our God did not send you to tell us not to go and settle in Egypt.

3. 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.

3. No, Baruch son of Neriah is prompting you to hand us over to the Chaldeans either to be killed or deported to Babylon!"

4. 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.

4. So neither Johanan son of Kareah nor the army officers nor the people heeded Yahweh's command to stay in the land of Judah.

5. 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;

5. Instead Johanan and the army officers led away the remnant of the Jews who had returned to the land of Judah from the nations where they had been driven.

6. [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.

6. They also led away the men, women, children and the royal princesses - all those that Nebuzaradan, commander of the bodyguard, had left in the care of Gedaliah, son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, with Jeremiah, the prophet and Baruch, son of Neriah.

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

7. So in defiance of Yahweh's order they entered Egypt and arrived at Tahpanhes.

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

8. There at Tahpanhes the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah: "While the Jews are watching you,

9. 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;

9. take some large stones and bury them in clay in the brick terrace at the entrance to Pharaoh's house at Tahpanhes

10. 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.

10. and then say to them: This is what Yahweh God of hosts and God of Israel says: I am sending for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and he will set his throne over these stones that I have hidden here and spread a royal canopy.

11. 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.

11. He shall come and strike the land of Egypt bringing death to those destined to die, captivity for those destined to be taken captive, sword for those destined for the sword.

12. 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.

12. He will set fire to the temples of the Egyptian gods; these gods will be burned or carried away. As a shepherd wraps himself in a cloak, so will the king of Babylon wrap the land of Egypt about himself and depart in safety.

13. 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.

13. He will break the sacred pillars at Heliopolis and burn the temples of the gods in Egypt."

43:1-7 - The people disobey God and decide to go to Egypt, disregarding Jeremiah's warning. This act of rebellion and the search for safety in a place outside God's plan demonstrate humanity's resistance to trusting God's way (see also Psalm 118:8 and Isaiah 30:1-2).

43:8-13 - Jeremiah prophesies against the Egyptian gods and announces that Nebuchadnezzar will destroy Egypt. This reveals God's judgment on the nations that oppose His plan, highlighting His sovereignty over all peoples (see also Ezekiel 30:10-19 and Revelation 18:2-3).

Kapcsolódó versek Jeremiah, 43:

Jeremiah chapter 43 exposes the continued rejection of God's word. How do the remnant respond to divine guidance? This challenging text recounts the accusation against Jeremiah, the people's flight to Egypt, and the prophecy about Nebuchadnezzar's conquest of Egypt. The chapter explores themes such as persistent unbelief, the consequences of disobedience, and the futility of seeking security outside of God's will. Jeremiah 43 illustrates the tragic cycle of rebellion. Examine with us five biblical passages that resonate with the critical themes of this eye-opening chapter.

Exodus 14:11-12: "They said to Moses, 'Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to die in the desert? What did you do to us, bringing us out of Egypt? Is this not what we said to you in Egypt: Leave us, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it would be better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!'" - This text reflects the rebellious attitude of the Israelites upon being taken out of Egypt, similar to the resistance of the people in Jeremiah 43 in obeying the Lord's word not to go to Egypt.

Isaiah 30:2: "who go down to Egypt without consulting me, to seek the protection of Pharaoh and refuge in the shadow of Egypt!" - Isaiah criticizes those who seek refuge in Egypt without consulting God, a theme similar to that addressed in Jeremiah 43.

Ezekiel 29:6: "Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the Lord. You have been a reed staff for the nation of Israel." - This passage, like Jeremiah 43, talks about God's judgment against Egypt and the futility of Israel trusting him.

Acts 7:9: "The patriarchs, being jealous of Joseph, sold him into slavery in Egypt. But God was with him" - This reference to the story of Joseph reminds us that, just as in Jeremiah 43, going to Egypt against God's will has consequences.

Deuteronomy 17:16: "The king, however, must not acquire a large number of horses for himself, nor will he make the people return to Egypt to acquire more horses, for the Lord said to them: 'You must never return this way'." - This command reflects God's warning against returning to Egypt, a central theme in Jeremiah 43.
