Jeremiah 44:26-28

The Voice

²⁶ But hear what the Eternal now says to the Judeans now living in Egypt: “I swear by My great name that no man or woman of Judah now living in Egypt will ever again invoke My name or begin an oath with the words ‘As the Eternal Lord lives!’ ²⁷ because I will watch over their lives to bring harm, not good. All the Judeans living in Egypt will suffer from war and famine until all have died. ²⁸ There will be only a few who survive and return to Judah from Egypt. All the remnant of Judah who were so determined to live in Egypt will finally know whose word can be trusted—theirs or Mine.
