Jeremiah 44:26-30
26Therefore hearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, all JudahH3063 that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; Behold, I have swornH7650 by my greatH1419 nameH8034, saithH559 YhwhH3068, that my nameH8034 shall no more be namedH7121 in the mouthH6310 of any manH376 of JudahH3063 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559, The LordH136 YhwhH3069 livethH2416. 27Behold, I will watchH8245 over them for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896: and all the menH376 of JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall be consumedH8552 by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458, until there be an endH3615 of them. 28Yet a smallH4962 numberH4557 that escapeH6412 the swordH2719 shall return outH7725 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and all the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that are goneH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there, shall knowH3045 whose wordsH1697 shall standH6965, mine, or theirs.1
29And this shall be a signH226 unto you, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that I will punishH6485 you in this placeH4725, that ye may knowH3045 that my wordsH1697 shall surelyH6965 standH6965 against you for evilH7451: 30Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; Behold, I will giveH5414 Pharaoh–hophraH6548 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 into the handH3027 of his enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 his lifeH5315; as I gaveH5414 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, his enemyH341, and that soughtH1245 his lifeH5315.
