Jeremiah 42:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 then [a]in that case listen to the word of the Lord, you remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “If you really set your [b]minds to enter (A)Egypt and go in to reside there, 16 then the (B)sword, of which you are afraid, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are anxious, will follow closely after you there in Egypt, and you will die there. 17 So all the people who set their [c]minds to go to Egypt to reside there will die by the (C)sword, by famine, or by plague; and they will (D)have no refugees or survivors from the disaster that I am going to bring on them.”’”
