Jeremiah 44:26-30

261Nevertheless hear the word of the Lord, all Judah who are living in the land of Egypt, ‘Behold, I have 2sworn by My great name,’ says the Lord, ‘3never shall My name be invoked again by the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “4As the Lord 5God lives.”

27Behold, I am watching over them 6for harm and not for good, and 7all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will 8meet their end by the sword and by famine until they 9are completely gone.

2810Those who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah 1112few in number. Then all the remnant of Judah who have gone to the land of Egypt to reside there will know 13whose word will stand, Mine or theirs.

29This will be the 14sign to you,’ declares the Lord, ‘that I am going to punish you in this place, so that you may know that 15My words will surely stand against you for harm.’

30Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I am going to give over 16Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt to the hand of his enemies, to the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave over 17Zedekiah king of Judah to the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and was seeking his life.’”
