Jeremiah 42:19-22
Lexham English Bible
19 Yahweh has spoken to you, O remnant of Judah, ‘You must not go to Egypt.’ You must certainly know that I have warned you today[a] 20 that you have made a fatal mistake,[b] for you sent me to Yahweh your God, saying,[c] ‘Pray for us to Yahweh our God, and all that Yahweh our God says, so tell us and we will do it.’[d] 21 So I have told you today,[e] and you have not listened to the voice of Yahweh your God, or of anything[f] that he sent me for you. 22 Now then, certainly you must know that by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague you will die in the place where you desire to go, to dwell as aliens there.”

Jeremiah 42:19-22
King James Version
19 The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
20 For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for us unto the Lord our God; and according unto all that the Lord our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.
21 And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.
22 Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.
