⁸ Then came the Devar Hashem unto Yirmeyah in Tahpanhes, saying,

⁹ Take avanim gedolim in thine yad, and bury them in the clay in the brick pavement, which is at the entrance of the bais Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the anshei Yehudah;

¹⁰ And say unto them, Thus saith Hashem Tzva’os Elohei Yisroel: Hineni, I will send and take Nevuchadretzar Melech Bavel, avdi (my servant), and will set his throne upon these avanim that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
