Jeremiah 42
Of all the sinners the Savior seem condemned the most were hypocrites. When Johanan and his followers approached Jeremiah concerning the will of the Lord, they said -
"...The Lord be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us.
6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord our God." (Jeremiah 42:5–6)
But when the word of the Lord came contrary to their plans and faith, their response was -
"We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the Lord your God,
14 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell..." (Jeremiah 42:13–14)
Well that didn't happen in that Babylon attacked Egypt to leaving great devastation.
