^27 (A)Behold, I am watching over them for disaster and not for good. ^(B)All the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end of them.

Judgment for Idolatry

44 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Judeans who lived in the land of Egypt, at ^(A)Migdol, at ^(B)Tahpanhes, at Memphis, and in the land of ^(C)Pathros,

¹² I will take the remnant of Judah who have ^(A)set their faces to come to the land of Egypt to live, and they shall all be consumed. ^(B)In the land of Egypt they shall fall; by the sword and by famine ^(C)they shall be consumed. ^(D)From the least to the greatest, they shall die by the sword and by famine, ^(E)and they shall become an oath, a horror, ^(F)a curse, and a taunt. ^13 (G)I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, ^14 (H)so that none of the remnant of Judah who have come to live in the land of Egypt shall escape or survive ^(I)or return to the land of Judah, to which they desire to return to dwell there. For they shall not return, ^(J)except some fugitives.”
