Context of Jeremiah 42:19

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. 18“This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: As my anger and my fury were poured out on those who live in Jerusalem, so my fury will be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become a curse word. You will become something ridiculed, cursed, and disgraced. You won’t see this place again. “The Lord has told you people who are left in Judah not to go to Egypt. You need to know that I am warning you today. 20You only deceived yourselves when you sent me to the Lord your God and said, ‘Pray to the Lord our God for us, and tell us everything that the Lord our God says, and we’ll do it.’ 21I have told you today, but you won’t obey anything the Lord your God sent me to tell you.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 42:19

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Go ye not into Egypt - Why? Because God knew, such was their miserable propensity to idolatry, that they would there adopt the worship of the country, and serve idols.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19The request made in Jeremiah 42:3 has been fulfilled: Yahweh has spoken. The prophet now adds these four verses as a sort of epilogue, in which he urges upon them the several points of the divine message.
