Then all the remnant of Judah who have gone to the land of Egypt to reside there will know (E)whose word will stand, Mine or theirs. 29 This will be the (F)sign to you,’ declares the Lord, ‘that I am going to punish you in this place, so that you may know that (G)My words will surely stand against you for harm.’
