28 (A)Those who escape the sword will return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah [a](B)few in number. Then all the remnant of Judah who have gone to the land of Egypt to reside there will know (C)whose word will stand, Mine or theirs. 29 And this will be the (D)sign to you,’ declares the Lord, ‘that I am going to punish you in this place, so that you may know that (E)My words will assuredly stand against you for harm.’ 30 This is what the Lord says: ‘Behold, I am going to hand (F)Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt over to his enemies, to those who seek his life, just as I handed (G)Zedekiah king of Judah over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and was seeking his life.’”
