¹⁷ “Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming ^[a]release, each one to his brother and each to his neighbor. Behold, I am ^(A)proclaiming a ^[b]release to you,’ declares the Lord, ‘to the ^(B)sword, to the plague, and to the famine; and I will make you a ^(C)terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

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.”’”
