Jeremiah 43:3-5
New English Translation

3 But Baruch son of Neriah is stirring you up against us.[a] He wants to hand us over to[b] the Babylonians[c] so that they will kill us or carry us off into exile in Babylon.” 4 So Johanan son of Kareah, all the army officers, and all the rest of the people did not obey the Lord’s command to stay in the land of Judah. 5 Instead Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers led off all the Judean remnant who had come back to live in the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been scattered.[d]
