Context of Jeremiah 42:21
19Yhwh hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day. 20For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto Yhwh your God, saying, Pray for us unto Yhwh our God; and according unto all that Yhwh our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it. And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of Yhwh your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you. 22Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.
