Jeremiah 43 - 45

The nation of Israel decides that Jeremiah is still operating for "the enemy" and not speaking for God.  They ignore his pleas to stay in the land and surrender to the Babylonians.  Instead, they flee to Egypt.  Jeremiah delivers a prophecy that Nebuchadnezzar will conquer not only Israel, but Egypt as well.  As a sign that Judah's sin was against the Lord, and that He had taken notice, Babylon would conquer both Egypt and Judah in the lifetime of those who heard the prophecy.
