Jeremiah 42:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴ no, we will go and live in Egypt where we will not have to face the sights and sounds of war or go hungry for lack of bread,’ ¹⁵ then listen closely to what I am saying to you, O remnant of Judah. The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies and God of Israel, declares: if you are determined to go to Egypt anyway and settle there after hearing My answer, ¹⁶ the wars you fear and the famine you dread will follow you into Egypt. And there, you will die.
