Jeremiah 43:8-13
8 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in aTahpanhes, saying, 9“Take some large stones in your ▼▼Lit hand
hands and hide them in the ▼▼Or clay floor
mortar in the brick terrace which is at the entrance of Pharaoh’s ▼▼Lit house
palace in Tahpanhes, in the sight of ▼▼Lit men
some of the Jews; 10and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I am going to send men and get fMy servant gNebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and I am going to set his throne over these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his ▼▼Or carpet
,
icanopy over them. 11He will also come and jstrike the land of Egypt; those who are meant for death will be given over to death, and those for captivity to captivity, and kthose for the sword to the sword. 12And ▼▼Some ancient versions He will set
I shall set fire to the temples of the mgods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will ▼▼Or delouse the land
,
owrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd ▼▼Or delouses his garment
wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely. 13He will also smash to pieces the ▼▼Or stone pillars
obelisks of ▼▼Heb Beth-shemesh; i.e., the house of the sun-god
Heliopolis, which is in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he will burn with fire.”’”
