Jeremiah 42:16-18
English Standard Version
16 then the sword (A)that you fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which you are afraid shall follow close after you to Egypt, (B)and there you shall die. 17 All the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to live there shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. They shall have (C)no remnant or survivor from the disaster that I will bring upon them.
18 “For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (D)As my anger and my wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. (E)You shall become an execration, a horror, a curse, and a taunt. You shall see this place no more.

Jeremiah 42:16-18
New International Version
16 then the sword(A) you fear(B) will overtake you there, and the famine(C) you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die.(D) 17 Indeed, all who are determined to go to Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, famine and plague;(E) not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring on them.’ 18 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and wrath(F) have been poured out on those who lived in Jerusalem,(G) so will my wrath be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You will be a curse[a](H) and an object of horror,(I) a curse[b] and an object of reproach;(J) you will never see this place again.’(K)
