Jeremiah 42:15-17

The Voice

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. ¹⁷ Yes, all of you who are determined to run to Egypt and settle there will die from war, famine, and disease. None of you who go there will survive or escape the disaster I will bring to them—not even a remnant of this remnant.”
