8Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in aTahpanhes: 9Take in your hands large stones and hide them in the mortar in the pavement that is at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace in bTahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah, 10and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, cmy servant, dand I will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden, and he will spread his royal canopy over them. 11He shall come eand strike the land of Egypt, fgiving over to the pestilence those who are doomed to the pestilence, to captivity those who are doomed to captivity, and to the sword those who are doomed to the sword. 12 gI shall kindle a fire hin the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them iand carry them away captive. jAnd he shall clean the land of Egypt kas a shepherd cleans his cloak of vermin, and he shall go away from there in peace. 13He shall break the lobelisks of Heliopolis, which is in the land of Egypt, mand the temples of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire.’”
