Jeremiah 44:27-29

Common English Bible

²⁷ I’m watching over them for harm and not for good. Everyone from Judah who is living in the land of Egypt will die by the sword and by famine, until all are gone. ²⁸ Those who actually survive war and return from Egypt to the land of Judah will be very few. Then the few remaining Judeans living in Egypt will know for certain whose word is true—mine or theirs! ²⁹ And this will be a sign for you, declares the Lord: I will punish you here so that you know my threats against you will surely be fulfilled.
