Jeremiah 42:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ then the sword you fear will overtake you in Egypt, the famine you dread will follow you there in Egypt, and you will die there. ¹⁷ This is what will happen to everyone who is determined to go into Egypt. All of them will die by the sword, famine, and plague. None of them will survive or escape from the disaster I am going to bring on them. ¹⁸ This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says. As my anger and my wrath have been poured out on those who live in Jerusalem, so will my wrath be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You will be an object of horror and derision, an object of cursing and ridicule. You will never see this place again.
