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,
2 then spake Azari´ah the son of Hoshai´ah, and Jo´hanan the son of Kare´ah, 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:
3 but Baruch the son of Neri´ah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chalde´ans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
4 So Jo´hanan the son of Kare´ah, 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.
5 But Jo´hanan the son of Kare´ah, 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;
6 even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Neb´uzar–a´dan the captain of the guard had left with Gedali´ah the son of Ahi´kam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neri´ah.
