Jeremiah 42:19-22

Living Bible

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. ²⁰ If you go, it will be at the cost of your lives. For you were deceitful when you sent me to pray for you and said, ‘Just tell us what God says and we will do it!’ ²¹ And today I have told you exactly what he said, but you will not obey any more now than you did the other times. ²² Therefore know for a certainty that you will die by sword, famine, and disease in Egypt, where you insist on going.”
