Men så fort Jeremia hadde avsluttet å tale til hele folket alle de Ordene som Herren deres Gud hadde sendt ham for å si, ble han angrepet av Asarja, Hosjajas sønn, Johanan, Kareahs sønn og alle de frekke mennene. De sa: «Du lyver! Herren vår Gud har ikke sendt deg for å si at vi ikke skal dra til Egypt for å bosette oss der. Du taler på vegne av fienden vår Baruk, Nerias sønn. Det er han som har fått deg til å si dette, fordi han vil at vi skal bli drept eller bortført som fanger til Babel av kaldeerne.»
