Contextual Overview

1 I finished telling the people everything that the Lord their God had sent me to tell them. 2 Then Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the other arrogant men said to me, "You are lying. The Lord our God did not send you to tell us not to go and live in Egypt. 3 Baruch son of Neriah has stirred you up against us, so that the Babylonians will gain power over us and can either kill us or take us away to Babylonia." 4 So neither Johanan nor any of the army officers nor any of the people would obey the Lord 's command to remain in the land of Judah. 5 Then Johanan and all the army officers took everybody left in Judah away to Egypt, together with all the people who had returned from the nations where they had been scattered: 6 the men, the women, the children, and the king's daughters. They took everyone whom Nebuzaradan the commanding officer had left under the care of Gedaliah, including Baruch and me. 7 They disobeyed the Lord 's command and went into Egypt as far as the city of 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.
