Jeremiah 43:7-9

⁷ The people disobeyed the Lord and went to Egypt. The group had settled in Tahpanhes, ⁸ when the Lord told me:

⁹ Jeremiah, carry some large stones to the entrance of the government building in Tahpanhes. Bury the stones underneath the brick pavement^[a] and be sure the Jews are watching.
