¹⁵ Then hear now the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah! Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘If you ^(A)wholly^[a] set ^(B)your faces to enter Egypt, and go to dwell there, ¹⁶ then it shall be that the ^(C)sword which you feared shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; the famine of which you were afraid shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there you shall die. ¹⁷ So shall it be with all the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to dwell there. They shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. And ^(D)none of them shall remain or escape from the disaster that I will bring upon them.’

²² Now therefore, know certainly that you ^(A)shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place where you desire to go to dwell.”
