24:043:008 Then came the word of the lord unto
Jeremiah in Tahpanhes,
saying,
24:043:009 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide
them in the clay in
the
brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s
house in
Tahpanhes,
in the sight of the men of Judah;
24:043:010 And say unto them, Thus saith the lord
of hosts, the God of
Israel;
Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king
of
Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these
stones
that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion
over
them.
24:043:011 And when he cometh, he shall smite the
land of Egypt, and
deliver
such as are for death to death; and such as are for
captivity
to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the
sword.
24:043:012 And I will kindle a fire in the houses
of the gods of Egypt;
and
he shall burn them, and carry them away captives:
and he
shall
array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd
putteth
on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in
peace.
24:043:013 He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh,
that is in the
land
of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians
shall
he burn with fire.
24:044:001 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning
all the Jews which
dwell
in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at
Tahpanhes,
and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
24:044:002 Thus saith the lord of hosts, the
God of Israel; Ye have seen
all
the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon
all
the
cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a
desolation,
and no man dwelleth therein,
24:044:003 Because of their wickedness which they
have committed to
provoke
me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and
to
serve
other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor
your
fathers.
24:044:004 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants
the prophets, rising
early
and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable
thing
that I hate.
24:044:005 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their
ear to turn from
their
wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
24:044:006 Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured
forth, and was
kindled
in the cities of Judah and in the streets of
Jerusalem;
and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
24:044:007 Therefore now thus saith the lord,
the God of hosts, the God
of
Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against
your
souls,
to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling,
out
of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
