Jeremiah 42:20-22

Modern English Version

²⁰ For you have only deceived yourselves when you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the Lord our God. And according to all that the Lord our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do it.’ ²¹ Now I have this day declared it to you. But you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, or anything for which He has sent me to you. ²² Now therefore certainly know that you will die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, in the place wherever you desire to go and to sojourn.”
