Jeremiah 42:14-16

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁴ saying, “No, but we will ^(A)go to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war or ^(B)hear the sound of a trumpet or hunger for bread, and we will stay there,” ¹⁵ then now, listen to the word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah. Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “If you really set your face to enter ^(C)Egypt, and you will enter to sojourn there, ¹⁶ then the ^(D)sword, which you are afraid of, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are anxious, will ^[a]follow closely after you there in Egypt, and you will die there.
