Jeremiah 42:17-19

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁷ So all the men who set their ^[a]mind to go to Egypt to reside there will die by the ^(A)sword, by famine and by pestilence; and they will ^(B)have no survivors or refugees from the calamity that I am going to bring on them.”’”

¹⁸ For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “As My ^(C)anger and wrath have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My wrath will be poured out on you when you enter Egypt. And you will become a ^(D)curse, an object of horror, an imprecation and a reproach; and ^(E)you will see this place no more.” ¹⁹ The Lord has spoken to you, O remnant of Judah, “Do not ^(F)go into Egypt!” You should clearly ^(G)understand that today I have ^(H)testified against you.
