Jeremiah 42:13-16

13“But if you refuse to obey the Lord your God, and if you say, ‘We will not stay here;

14instead, we will go to Egypt where we will be free from war, the call to arms, and hunger,’

15then hear the Lord’s message to the remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt and live there,

16the very war and famine you fear will catch up to you, and you will die there.
