Jeremiah 43:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible
2 Then Hoshaiah's son Azariah and Kareah's son Johanan and some other proud men said to Jeremiah, ‘You are speaking lies! The Lord our God has not sent you to say to us, “You must not go to Egypt to live there.” 3 You are telling us what Neriah's son Baruch wants you to say. He wants to hurt us. He wants the soldiers from Babylon to kill us, or to take us as prisoners to Babylon.’
4 So Kareah's son Johanan, all the other army officers and all the other people did not obey the Lord's command. They refused to stay in Judah.
