Jeremiah 43:1-3

Contemporary English Version

The People Go to Egypt

43 I told the people everything the Lord had told me. ² But Azariah, Johanan^[a] and some other arrogant men said to me, “You're lying! The Lord didn't tell you to say that we shouldn't go to Egypt. ³ Baruch son of Neriah must have told you to say that. He wants the Babylonians to capture us, so they can take us away to Babylonia or even kill us.”
