Jeremiah 42:13-17

13But if you are going to say, “We will 1not stay in this land,” so as not to listen to the voice of the Lord your God, 14saying, “No, but we will 2go to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, or 3hear the sound of a trumpet, or hunger for bread, and we will stay there”; 15then 4in that case listen to the word of the Lord, you remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “If you really set your 5minds to enter 6Egypt and go in to reside there, 16then the 7sword, of which you are afraid, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are anxious, will follow closely after you there in Egypt, and you will die there. 17So all the people who set their 8minds to go to Egypt to reside there will die by the 9sword, by famine, or by plague; and they will 10have no refugees or survivors from the disaster that I am going to bring on them.”’”
