Jeremiah 43:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah and some other men were too proud. They said to Jeremiah, “Jeremiah, you are lying! The Lord our God did not send you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to live there.’ ³ Baruch son of Neriah is causing you to be against us. He wants you to hand us over to the Babylonians. Then they will kill us. Or they will capture us and take us to Babylon.”

⁴ So Johanan, the army officers and all the people disobeyed the Lord’s command. He had commanded them to stay in Judah.
