Jeremiah taken to Egypt
Fearing Babylon's revenge, the remaining Judeans asked Jeremiah for God's guidance, then ignored his answer and fled to Egypt, taking Jeremiah and Baruch with them.
“Yahweh has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, ‘Don’t go into Egypt!’ Know certainly that I have testified to you today.”
Jeremiah 42:19 (World English Bible)
God told them through Jeremiah to stay in the land and he would protect them; going to Egypt would bring the very sword they feared. They accused Jeremiah of lying and went anyway, settling at Tahpanhes. Jeremiah's last recorded words are warnings to the Jews in Egypt, who had returned to burning incense to the “queen of the sky.”
