Jeremiah 42:17-22

17So all the men who set their 1mind to go to Egypt to reside there will die by the 2sword, by famine and by pestilence; and they will 3have no survivors or refugees from the calamity that I am going to bring on them.”’”

18For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “As My 4anger and wrath have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My wrath will be poured out on you when you enter Egypt. And you will become a 5curse, an object of horror, an imprecation and a reproach; and 6you will see this place no more.” 19The Lord has spoken to you, O remnant of Judah, “Do not 7go into Egypt!” You should clearly 8understand that today I have 9testified against you. 20For you have only 1011deceived yourselves; for it is you who sent me to the Lord your God, saying, “Pray for us to the Lord our God; and whatever the Lord our God says, tell us so, and we will do it.” 21So I have 12told you today, but you have 13not 14obeyed the Lord your God, even in whatever He has sent me to tell you. 22Therefore you should now clearly understand that you will 15die by the sword, by famine and by pestilence, in the 16place where you wish to go to reside.
