Jeremiah 42:19-21

The Voice

¹⁹ O remnant of Judah, listen to what the Eternal has said to you: “Do not go to Egypt!” You must recognize that today I have given you fair warning. ²⁰ Your lives are at risk, for you did not mean it when you sent me to the Eternal your God with this promise: “Pray to the Eternal our God for us, and tell us everything He says. We will obey Him no matter what the answer is.” ²¹ So today I have given you His answer, but I can see you have no intention of obeying the Eternal your God, regardless of what He sends me to tell you.
