Jeremiah 42:15-17

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵ then ^[a]in that case listen to the word of the Lord, you remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “If you really set your ^[b]minds to enter ^(A)Egypt and go in to reside there, ¹⁶ then the ^(B)sword, of which you are afraid, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are anxious, will follow closely after you there in Egypt, and you will die there. ¹⁷ So all the people who set their ^[c]minds to go to Egypt to reside there will die by the ^(C)sword, by famine, or by plague; and they will ^(D)have no refugees or survivors from the disaster that I am going to bring on them.”’”
