Jeremiah 42:14-16
Good News Translation
13-15 “But you people who are left in Judah must not disobey the Lord your God and refuse to live in this land. You must not say, ‘No, we will go and live in Egypt, where we won't face war any more or hear the call to battle or go hungry.’ If you say this, then the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says, ‘If you are determined to go and live in Egypt, 16 then the war that you fear will overtake you, and the hunger you dread will follow you, and you will die there in Egypt.

Jeremiah 42:14-16
New International Version
14 and if you say, ‘No, we will go and live in Egypt,(A) where we will not see war or hear the trumpet(B) or be hungry for bread,’(C) 15 then hear the word of the Lord,(D) you remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt and you do go to settle there, 16 then the sword(E) you fear(F) will overtake you there, and the famine(G) you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die.(H)
