Then all the remnant of Judah who have gone to the land of Egypt to sojourn there will know (C)whose word will be established, Mine or theirs. 29 This will be the (D)sign to you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘that I am going to punish you in this place, so that you may know that (E)My words will surely be established against you for [b]evil.’ 30 Thus says Yahweh, ‘Behold, I am going to give over (F)Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt to the hand of his enemies, to the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave over (G)Zedekiah king of Judah to the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and was seeking his life.’”
