Jeremiah 42:13-17

13“But suppose you say, ‘We won’t stay in this land,’ and you disobey the Lord your God.

14Then you say, ‘We’ll go to Egypt, where we won’t have to see war, hear the sound of a ram’s horn, or be hungry. We’ll stay there.’

15“Now, listen to the Lord’s word, you people who are left in Judah. This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Suppose you’re determined to go to Egypt, and you go and live there.

16Then the wars you fear will catch up with you in Egypt. The famines you dread will follow you to Egypt, and you will die there.

17So all the people who decide to go and live in Egypt will die in wars, famines, and plagues. No one will survive or escape the disasters I will bring on them.
