Jeremiah 44:12-14

Christian Standard Bible

¹² And I will take away the remnant of Judah,^(A) those who have set their face to go to the land of Egypt to stay there. All of them will meet their end in the land of Egypt. They will fall by the sword; they will meet their end by famine. From the least to the greatest,^(B) they will die by the sword and by famine. Then they will become an example for cursing, scorn,^(C) execration, and disgrace.^{(D) 13} I will punish those living in the land of Egypt just as I punished Jerusalem by sword, famine, and plague. ¹⁴ Then the remnant of Judah—those going to live for a while there in the land of Egypt—will have no fugitive or survivor to return to the land of Judah where they are longing^[a] to return to stay,^(E) for they will not return except for a few fugitives.”
