Reading for November 2nd

Read Jeremiah 43.1-13. Johanan, the hero of ch 42, turns insolent and accuses Jeremiah of lying and Baruch of inciting him. Both are forced into Egyptian exile against their will. They escape none of the pain of the exiles in Babylon, for they too leave their homeland as captives. In verses 8-13: Jeremiah direct a symbolic action of burying stones. Nebuchhadnezzar will come and set up his rule there and destroy Egyptian deities. Comments or Questions..
