Jeremiah 44:28-30
New Catholic Bible
28 Those who escape the sword and return from the land of Egypt to Judah will be few in number. Then the entire remnant of Judah who were determined to settle in Egypt will come to the realization that it has been my word that prevailed, and not theirs.
29 [a]“This is the sign from me to you that I will punish you in this place, says the Lord, in order that you may realize that my promise to you will be carried out. 30 Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will hand over Pharaoh Hophra, the king of Egypt, to his enemies, to those who seek his life, just as I handed over Zedekiah, the king of Judah, to his enemy who sought his life, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.”

29 “‘This will be the sign(F) to you that I will punish(G) you in this place,’ declares the Lord, ‘so that you will know that my threats of harm against you will surely stand.’(H) 30 This is what the Lord says: ‘I am going to deliver Pharaoh(I) Hophra king of Egypt into the hands of his enemies who want to kill him, just as I gave Zedekiah(J) king of Judah into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the enemy who wanted to kill him.’”(K)
