¹⁷ So shall it be with all the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to dwell there. They shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. And ^(A)none of them shall remain or escape from the disaster that I will bring upon them.’

²² Now therefore, know certainly that you ^(A)shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place where you desire to go to dwell.”

²⁸ Yet ^(A)a small number who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah; and all the remnant of Judah, who have gone to the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose words will stand, Mine or theirs.

^13 (A)For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, ¹⁴ so that none of the remnant of Judah who have gone into the land of Egypt to dwell there shall escape or survive, lest they return to the land of Judah, to which they ^(B)desire^[a] to return and dwell. For ^(C)none shall return except those who escape.’ ”

¹⁰ And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are ^[a]consumed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.’ ”
