Jeremiah 43:3-5

New Living Translation

³ Baruch son of Neriah has convinced you to say this, because he wants us to stay here and be killed by the Babylonians^[a] or be carried off into exile.”

⁴ So Johanan and the other military leaders and all the people refused to obey the Lord’s command to stay in Judah. ⁵ Johanan and the other leaders took with them all the people who had returned from the nearby countries to which they had fled.
