Jeremiah 43:8-13
8Then 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 mortar in the ▼▼ Or brickwork
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, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Behold, I am going to send and get fNebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, gMy servant, and I am going to set his throne right over these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his hcanopy over them. 11“He will also come and istrike the land of Egypt; those who are meant for death will be given over to death, and those for captivity to captivity, and jthose for the sword to the sword. 12“And ▼▼ Some ancient versions read He will set
I shall set fire to the temples of the lgods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will mwrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely. 13“He will also shatter 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.”’”
