Jeremiah 44:26-30

261In return, 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, ‘that My name shall 3never be invoked again by the mouth of anyone 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 people of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will 8meet their end by the sword or by famine until they 9are completely gone.

2810Those who escape the sword will return from 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.

29And this 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 assuredly stand against you for harm.’

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