Jeremiah 44:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ I am watching over them to do them harm and not good. The Jews in Egypt will die of war and hunger until all of them are destroyed. ²⁸ Some will not be killed. They will return to Judah from Egypt. But they will be very few. Then all the people of Judah who came to live in Egypt will know the truth. They will know whether what I say or what they say will come true.

²⁹ “ ‘I will give you a sign that I will punish you in this place,’ announces the Lord. ‘Then you can be sure that my warnings of harm against you will come true.’
