Jeremiah 44:26-28
Good News Translation
26 But now listen to the vow that I, the Lord, have made in my mighty name to all you Israelites in Egypt: Never again will I let any of you use my name to make a vow by saying, ‘I swear by the living Sovereign Lord!’ 27 I will see to it that you will not prosper, but will be destroyed. All of you will die, either in war or of disease, until not one of you is left. 28 But a few of you will escape death and return from Egypt to Judah. Then the survivors will know whose words have come true, mine or theirs.

New International Version
26 But hear the word of the Lord, all you Jews living in Egypt:(A) ‘I swear(B) by my great name,’ says the Lord, ‘that no one from Judah living anywhere in Egypt will ever again invoke my name or swear, “As surely as the Sovereign(C) Lord lives.”(D) 27 For I am watching(E) over them for harm,(F) not for good; the Jews in Egypt will perish(G) by sword and famine(H) until they are all destroyed.(I) 28 Those who escape the sword(J) and return to the land of Judah from Egypt will be very few.(K) Then the whole remnant(L) of Judah who came to live in Egypt will know whose word will stand(M)—mine or theirs.(N)
