A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old
and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David
Brown  at sacred-texts.com jer 43:2THE JEWS CARRY JEREMIAH AND
BARUCH INTO EGYPT. JEREMIAH FORETELLS BY A TYPE THE CONQUEST OF
EGYPT BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR, AND THE FATE OF THE FUGITIVES. (Jer
43:1-13) Azariah--the author of the project of going into Egypt;
a very different man from the Azariah in Babylon (Dan 1:7; Dan
3:12-18). proud--Pride is the parent of disobedience and
contempt of God. jer 43:3Baruch--He being the younger spake out
the revelations which he received from Jeremiah more vehemently.
From this cause, and from their knowing that he was in favor
with the Chaldeans, arose their suspicion of him. Their perverse
fickleness was astonishing. In the forty-second chapter they
acknowledged the trustworthiness of Jeremiah, of which they had
for so long so many proofs; yet here they accuse him of a lie.
The mind of the unregenerate man is full of deceits. jer
