Jeremiah 42:14-16
Christian Standard Bible
14 and if you say, ‘No, instead we’ll go to the land of Egypt(A) where we will not see war or hear the sound of the ram’s horn(B) or hunger for food, and we’ll live there,’ 15 then hear the word of the Lord, remnant of Judah! This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel,(C) says: ‘If you are firmly resolved to go to Egypt(D) and stay there for a while, 16 then the sword(E) you fear will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine you are worried about will follow on your heels[a] there to Egypt, and you will die there.
