THE JEWS CARRY JEREMIAH AND BARUCH INTO EGYPT. JEREMIAH FORETELLS BY A TYPE THE CONQUEST OF EGYPT BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR, AND THE FATE OF THE FUGITIVES. (Jer 43:1-13)
Azariah--the author of the project of going into Egypt; a very different man from the Azariah in Babylon (Dan 1:7; Dan 3:12-18).
proud--Pride is the parent of disobedience and contempt of God. |

| Thou speakest falsely - They had no other color for their rebellion than flatly to deny that God had spoken what the prophet related. |
12 There are [0383] certain [01400] Jews [03062] whom [03487] thou hast set [04483] over [05922] the affairs [05673] of the province [04083] of Babylon [0895], Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665]; these [0479] men [01400], O king [04430], have [07761] not [03809] regarded [02942] thee [05922]: they serve [06399] not [03809] thy gods [0426], nor [03809] worship [05457] the golden [01722] image [06755] which thou hast set up [06966].
13 Then [0116] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] in his rage [07266] and fury [02528] commanded [0560] to bring [0858] Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665]. Then [0116] they brought [0858] these [0479] men [01400] before [06925] the king [04430].
14 Nebuchadnezzar [05020] spake [06032] and said [0560] unto them, Is it true [06656], O Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], do not [03809] ye [0383] serve [06399] my gods [0426], nor [03809] worship [05457] the golden [01722] image [06755] which I have set [06966] up?
15 Now [03705] if [02006] ye be [0383] ready [06263] that at what time [05732] ye hear [08086] the sound [07032] of the cornet [07162], flute [04953], harp [07030] [07030], sackbut [05443], psaltery [06460], and dulcimer [05481], and all [03606] kinds [02178] of musick [02170], ye fall down [05308] and worship [05457] the image [06755] which I have made [05648]; well: but if [02006] ye worship [05457] not [03809], ye shall be cast [07412] the same hour [08160] into the midst [01459] of a burning [03345] fiery [05135] furnace [0861]; and who [04479] is that God [0426] that shall deliver [07804] you out of [04481] my hands [03028]?
16 Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], answered [06032] and said [0560] to the king [04430], O Nebuchadnezzar [05020], we [0586] are not [03809] careful [02818] to answer [08421] thee in [05922] this [01836] matter [06600].
17 If [02006] it be so, our God [0426] whom we [0586] serve [06399] is [0383] able [03202] to deliver [07804] us from [04481] the burning [03345] fiery [05135] furnace [0861], and [04481] he will deliver [07804] us out of [04481] thine hand [03028], O king [04430].
18 But if [02006] not [03809], be it [01934] known [03046] unto thee, O king [04430], that we will [0383] not [03809] serve [06399] thy gods [0426], nor [03809] worship [05457] the golden [01722] image [06755] which thou hast set up [06966].
7 Unto whom the prince [08269] of the eunuchs [05631] gave [07760] names [08034]: for he gave [07760] unto Daniel [01840] the name of Belteshazzar [01095]; and to Hananiah [02608], of Shadrach [07714]; and to Mishael [04332], of Meshach [04335]; and to Azariah [05838], of Abednego [05664].
1 And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah [03414] had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] unto all the people [05971] all the words [01697] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430], for which the LORD [03068] their God [0430] had sent [07971] him to them, even all these words [01697],
2 Then spake [0559] Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Hoshaiah [01955], and Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the proud [02086] men [0582], saying [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414], Thou speakest [01696] falsely [08267]: the LORD [03068] our God [0430] hath not sent [07971] thee to say [0559], Go [0935] not into Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there:
3 But Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374] setteth thee on [05496] against us, for to [04616] deliver [05414] us into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778], that they might put us to death [04191], and carry us away captives [01540] into Babylon [0894].
4 So Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428], and all the people [05971], obeyed [08085] not the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], to dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063].
5 But Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428], took [03947] all the remnant [07611] of Judah [03063], that were returned [07725] from all nations [01471], whither they had been driven [05080], to dwell [01481] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063];
6 Even men [01397], and women [0802], and children [02945], and the king's [04428] daughters [01323], and every person [05315] that Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] had left [03240] with Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], and Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], and Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374].
7 So they came [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: for they obeyed [08085] not the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068]: thus came [0935] they even to Tahpanhes [08471].
8 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Jeremiah [03414] in Tahpanhes [08471], saying [0559],
9 Take [03947] great [01419] stones [068] in thine hand [03027], and hide [02934] them in the clay [04423] in the brickkiln [04404], which is at the entry [06607] of Pharaoh's [06547] house [01004] in Tahpanhes [08471], in the sight [05869] of the men [0582] of Judah [03064];
10 And say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will send [07971] and take [03947] Nebuchadrezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], my servant [05650], and will set [07760] his throne [03678] upon [04605] these stones [068] that I have hid [02934]; and he shall spread [05186] his royal pavilion [08237] over them.
11 And when he cometh [0935], he shall smite [05221] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and deliver such as are for death [04194] to death [04194]; and such as are for captivity [07628] to captivity [07628]; and such as are for the sword [02719] to the sword [02719].
12 And I will kindle [03341] a fire [0784] in the houses [01004] of the gods [0430] of Egypt [04714]; and he shall burn [08313] them, and carry them away captives [07617]: and he shall array [05844] himself with the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], as a shepherd [07462] putteth on [05844] his garment [0899]; and he shall go forth [03318] from thence in peace [07965].
13 He shall break [07665] also the images [04676] of Bethshemesh [01053], that is in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; and the houses [01004] of the gods [0430] of the Egyptians [04714] shall he burn [08313] with fire [0784].
