Jeremiah 42:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³ But you might keep on saying, “We won't stay here in Judah, and we won't obey the Lord our God. ¹⁴ We are going to Egypt, where there is plenty of food and no danger of war.”

¹⁵ People of Judah, you survived when the Babylonian army attacked. Now you are planning to move to Egypt, and if you do go, this is what will happen.
