Jeremiah 43 · Grade 4

No Escape from God's Word

Name Date

Read and Think

Azariah, Johanan, and all the proud men answered Jeremiah. You speak falsely. They claimed Baruch had turned Jeremiah against them so they would be handed to Babylon. Their pride led them to reject the answer they had asked for.

Johanan and the captains took the whole remnant to Egypt. They brought the king's daughters, the poor, and even Jeremiah and Baruch. They came into the land of Egypt, for they didn't obey Yahweh's voice; and they came to Tahpanhes.

At Tahpanhes, Jeremiah buried large stones in the pavement at the entry of Pharaoh's palace as an acted prophecy. Nebuchadnezzar would one day set up his royal tent on that spot. Egypt's temples would burn and its sacred pillars would be broken. The place the people chose for safety would also face Babylon.
