Jeremiah 42:13-17

13“However, if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ and so disobey the Lord your God,

14and if you say, ‘No, we will go and live in Egypt, where we will not see war or hear the trumpet or be hungry for bread,’

15then hear the word of the Lord, you remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt and you do go to settle there,

16then the sword you fear will overtake you there, and the famine you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die.

17Indeed, all who are determined to go to Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, famine and plague; not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring on them.’
