The verse 18 is found in chapter 41 of Jeremiah. Johanan rescues the captives taken by Ishmael and prepares to flee to Egypt out of fear of Babylon. The group reaches Geruth Chimham near Bethlehem, but still does not know what to do. Fear dominates their decisions and prepares the conflict between the search for human security and the prophetic word.

Denn sie fürchteten sich vor ihnen, weil Ismael, der Sohn Nethanjas, Gedalja, den Sohn Ahikams, erschlagen hatte, den der König zu Babel über das Land gesetzt hatte.
Por causa de los Caldeos: porque temían de ellos, por haber herido Ismael hijo de Nethanías a Gedalías hijo de Ahicam, al cual el rey de Babilonia había puesto sobre la tierra.
por causa de los caldeos, a quienes temían, porque Ismael, hijo de Netanías, había matado a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam, a quien el rey de Babilonia había puesto al frente de la tierra.
loin des Chaldéens dont ils avaient peur, parce qu'Ismaël, fils de Nethania, avait tué Guedalia, fils d'Achikam, que le roi de Babylone avait établi gouverneur du pays.
conciossiachè temessero di loro; perciocchè Ismaele, figliuolo di Netania, aveva percosso Ghedalia, figliuolo di Ahicam, il quale il re di Babilonia aveva costituito sopra il paese
Por causa dos caldeus; porque os temiam, por ter Ismael, filho de Netanias, matado a Gedalias, filho de Aicão, a quem o rei de Babilônia tinha feito governador sobre a terra.
