Jeremiah 43:1-2

Context

43:1 Jeremiah finished telling all the people all these things the Lord their God had sent him to tell them. 1  43:2 Then Azariah 2  son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and other arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are telling a lie! The Lord our God did not send you to tell us, ‘You must not go to Egypt and settle there.’

1 tn This sentence contains an emphasis that is impossible to translate into idiomatic English that would not sound redundant.

Though they have been left out of the translation, attention is called to their presence here.

2 sn See the study note on 42:1 for the possible identification of this man with Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite.
