Jeremiah 44:28-30
Living Bible
28 “Only those who return to Judah (it will be but a tiny remnant) shall escape my wrath, but all who refuse to go back—who insist on living in Egypt—shall find out who tells the truth, I or they! 29 And this is the proof I give you that all I have threatened will happen to you and that I will punish you here: 30 I will turn Pharaoh Hophra,[a] king of Egypt, over to those who seek his life, just as I turned Zedekiah, king of Judah, over to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.”

Jeremiah 44:28-30
New International Version
28 Those who escape the sword(A) and return to the land of Judah from Egypt will be very few.(B) Then the whole remnant(C) of Judah who came to live in Egypt will know whose word will stand(D)—mine or theirs.(E)
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)
