Jeremiah 42:17-19
Living Bible
17 That is the fate awaiting every one of you who insists on going to live in Egypt. Yes, you will die from sword, famine, and disease. None of you will escape from the evil I will bring upon you there.
18 “For the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Just as my anger and fury were poured out upon the people of Jerusalem, so it will be poured out on you when you enter Egypt. You will be received with disgust and with hatred—you will be cursed and reviled. And you will never again see your own land. 19 For the Lord has said: O remnant of Judah, do not go to Egypt!”
Jeremiah concluded: “Never forget the warning I have given you today.

17 Indeed, all who are determined to go to Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, famine and plague;(A) not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring on them.’ 18 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and wrath(B) have been poured out on those who lived in Jerusalem,(C) so will my wrath be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You will be a curse[a](D) and an object of horror,(E) a curse[b] and an object of reproach;(F) you will never see this place again.’(G)
19 “Remnant(H) of Judah, the Lord has told you, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’(I) Be sure of this: I warn you today
