Jeremiah 42:7-22

7Now at the 1endH7093 of tenH6235 daysH3117 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414. 8Then he calledH7121 for JohananH3076 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143 and allH3605 the commandersH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were with him, and for allH3605 the peopleH5971 from the smallH6996 to the greatH1419, 9and saidH559 to them, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 2saysH559, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to whomH834 you sentH7971 me to presentH5307 your pleaH8467 beforeH6440 Him: 10‘IfH518 you will indeedH3427 stayH3427 in thisH2088 landH776, then I will 3buildH1129 you upH1129 and not tearH2040 you downH2040, and I will plantH5193 you and not uprootH5428 you; for I 4will 5relentH5162 of the disasterH7463 that I have inflictedH6213 on you. 116Do not beH3372 afraidH3372 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, whomH834 you are now fearingH3372; do not beH3372 afraidH3372 of him,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘for 7I am with you to saveH3467 you and rescueH5337 you from his handH3027. 12I will also showH5414 you compassionH7356, so that 8he will haveH7355 compassionH7355 onH7355 you and restoreH7725 you to your own soilH127. 13But ifH518 you are going to sayH559, “We will 9not stayH3427 in thisH2088 landH776,” so as not to listenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, 14sayingH559, “NoH3808, but we will 10goH935 to the landH776 of EgyptH4714, whereH834 we will not seeH7200 warH4421, or 11hearH8085 the soundH6963 of a trumpetH7782, or hungerH7456 for breadH3899, and we will stayH3427 thereH8033”; 15then 12in that caseH6258H3651 listenH8085 to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, you remnantH7611 of JudahH3063. ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “IfH518 you reallyH7760 setH7760 your 13mindsH6440 to enterH935 14EgyptH4714 and goH935 inH935 to resideH1481 thereH8033, 16then the 15swordH2719, of whichH834 you are afraidH3372, will overtakeH5381 you thereH8033 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and the famineH7458, about whichH834 you areH1672 anxiousH1672, will followH1692 closelyH1692 afterH310 you thereH8033 in EgyptH4714, and you will dieH4191 thereH8033. 17So allH3605 the peopleH376 whoH834 setH7760 their 16mindsH6440 to goH935 to EgyptH4714 to resideH1481 thereH8033 will dieH4191 by the 17swordH2719, by famineH7458, or by plagueH1698; and they will 18haveH1961 noH3808 refugeesH8300 or survivorsH6412 from the disasterH7463 that I am going to bringH935 on them.”’”

18For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “As My 19angerH639 and wrathH2534 have gushedH5413 outH5413 on the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, soH3651 My wrathH2534 will gushH5413 outH5413 on you when you enterH935 EgyptH4714. And you will becomeH1961 a 20curseH423, an objectH8047 ofH8047 horrorH8047, 21an imprecationH7045, and a disgraceH2781; and 22you will not seeH7200 thisH2088 placeH4725 againH5750.” 19The LordH3068 has spokenH1696 to you, you remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, “Do not 23goH935 to EgyptH4714!” You 24knowH3045 forH3045 certainH3045 that I have 25admonishedH5749 you todayH3117. 20For you have only 2627deceivedH8582 yourselvesH5315; for it is you who sentH7971 me to the LordH3068 your GodH430, sayingH559, “PrayH6419 for us to the LordH3068 our GodH430; and whateverH3605H834 the LordH3068 our GodH430 saysH559, tellH5046 us soH3651, and we will doH6213 it.” 21So I have 28toldH5046 you todayH3117, but you have 29not 30obeyedH8085H6963 the LordH3068 your GodH430 in whateverH3605H834 He has sentH7971 me to tell you. 22And nowH6258 you shall knowH3045 forH3045 certainH3045 that you will 31dieH4191 by the swordH2719, by famineH7458, or by plagueH1698 in the 32placeH4725 whereH834H8033 you desireH2654 to goH935 to resideH1481.
