Jeremiah 42:17-19
New American Standard Bible
17 So all the people who set their [a]minds to go to Egypt to reside there will die by the (A)sword, by famine, or by plague; and they will (B)have no refugees or survivors from the disaster that I am going to bring on them.”’”
18 For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “As My (C)anger and wrath have gushed out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My wrath will gush out on you when you enter Egypt. And you will become a (D)curse, an object of horror, [b]an imprecation, and a disgrace; and (E)you will not see this place again.” 19 The Lord has spoken to you, you remnant of Judah, “Do not (F)go to Egypt!” You (G)know for certain that I have (H)admonished you today.

Jeremiah 42:17-19
King James Version
17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
18 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
19 The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
