Jeremiah 42:15-17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁵ then therefore^[a] hear the word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah. Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “If you are determined^[b] to go to Egypt, and you go to dwell as aliens there, ¹⁶ then it will be that the sword that you are in fear of will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine that you are anxious of will pursue after you there into Egypt, and there you will die. ¹⁷ So all the people who are determined^[c] to go to Egypt to dwell as aliens there will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague, and there will not be for them an escapee or a survivor from the disaster that I am bringing upon them.”
