^13 (A)I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence,

^27 (A)Behold, I am watching over them for disaster and not for good. ^(B)All the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end of them. ^28 (C)And those who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, ^(D)few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who came to the land of Egypt to live, ^(E)shall know whose word will stand, mine or theirs.

¹¹ He shall come ^(A)and strike the land of Egypt, ^(B)giving over to the pestilence those who are doomed to the pestilence, to captivity those who are doomed to captivity, and to the sword those who are doomed to the sword.

²² therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine,

¹⁸ “For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ^(A)As my anger and my wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. ^(B)You shall become an execration, a horror, a curse, and a taunt. You shall see this place no more.

¹⁰ And I will send ^(A)sword, famine, and pestilence upon them, until they shall be utterly destroyed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.”

⁹ He who stays in this city shall die ^(A)by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, but he who goes out and ^(B)surrenders to the Chaldeans who are besieging you shall live ^(C)and shall have his life as a prize of war.
