Contextual Overview

1Now it happened when Jeremiah, whom the LORD their God had sent, had finished telling all the people all the words of the LORD their God—that is, all these words—2Azariah the son of Hoshaiah and Johanan the son of Kareah and all the proud and insolent men said to Jeremiah, "You are not telling the truth! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, 'Do not go into Egypt to live there.' 3"But Baruch the son of Neriah is inciting you against us to hand us over to the Chaldeans, so they may [either] put us to death or exile us to Babylon." 4So Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces and all the people disobeyed the voice of the LORD [which told them] to stay in the land of Judah. 5But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces took all the remnant of Judah who had returned to live in the land of Judah from all the nations to which they had been driven— 6the men, women, and children, the king's daughters (ladies of the court), and every person whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; he also took Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch the son of Neriah. 7So they entered the land of Egypt (for they did not obey the voice of the LORD) and they went in as far as Tahpanhes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people,.... The princes and the people, the whole body of them, who had desired the prophet to seek the Lord for them, and whom he called together to relate his answer, and declare his will; see Jeremiah 42:1; they heard him out, and that was as much as they did; for as soon as he had done, they rose up and contradicted him: however, he faithfully declared

all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God sent him to them, [even] all the words; which are related in the preceding chapter, which were the words of the Lord, and so ought to have been regarded; and the rather, as they were the words of their God, whom they professed, and which he had sent his prophet to declare unto them; and who had kept back nothing, but had made known the whole; he had told the truth, and nothing but the truth, and all the truth.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

These captains belonged to the party who had all along resisted Jeremiah’s counsels, and had led Zedekiah astray. Now however that events had proved that the prophet’s counsels had been wise and true, they cannot for shame find fault with him, but they affirm that he is under the influence of Baruch, a traitor who has sold himself to the Chaldaeans, and seeks only the hurt of the people.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XLIII

The leading men, discrediting Jeremiah's prophecy, carry the

people into Egypt, 1-7.

Jeremiah, by a type, foretells the conquest of Egypt by

Nebuchadnezzar, 8-13.

This mode of conveying instruction by actions was very

expressive, and frequently practised by the prophets. The image

of Nebuchadnezzar arraying himself with Egypt, as a shepherd

puts on his garment, is very noble. Egypt at this time

contended with Babylon for the empire of the east; yet this

mighty kingdom, when God appoints the revolution, shifts its

owner with as much ease as a shepherd removes his tent or

garment, which the new proprietor has only to spread over him.

See Jeremiah 43:12.
