Jeremiah 43:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes: ⁹ Take some large stones in your hands, and bury them in the clay pavement^[a] that is at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace in Tahpanhes. Let the Judeans see you do it, ¹⁰ and say to them, Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I am going to send and take my servant King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon, and he^[b] will set his throne above these stones that I have buried, and he will spread his royal canopy over them.
