  • Jer 42:14-22 : 14 Instead, you say, 'No, we will go to the land of Egypt where we will not see war, hear the sound of the trumpet, or suffer hunger for bread. There we will stay.' 15 Now therefore hear the word of the LORD, remnant of Judah. This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: If you are determined to go to Egypt and settle there, 16 then the sword that you fear will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine you worry about will follow close behind you to Egypt, and there you will die. 17 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 upon them. 18 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: As my anger and wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so too will my wrath be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You will become an object of cursing, horror, condemnation, and disgrace, and you will never see this place again. 19 The LORD has spoken to you, remnant of Judah: Do not go to Egypt. Be certain of this: I have warned you today. 20 For you have deceived yourselves when you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, 'Pray to the LORD our God for us, and whatever the LORD our God says, tell us and we will do it.' 21 I have told you today, but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God or anything He has sent me to tell you. 22 Now therefore be certain of this: You will die by the sword, famine, and plague in the place where you desire to go to settle.
