Jeremiah 43:3-5

International Children’s Bible

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. ⁵ But Johanan son of Kareah and the army officers took those who were left alive from Judah to Egypt. These were the people who had run away from the Babylonians to other countries. But they had come back to Judah.
