Jeremiah 42:20-22
Living Bible
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.”

20 that you made a fatal mistake when you sent me to the Lord your God and said, ‘Pray to the Lord our God for us; tell us everything he says and we will do it.’(A) 21 I have told you today, but you still have not obeyed the Lord your God in all he sent me to tell you.(B) 22 So now, be sure of this: You will die by the sword, famine(C) and plague(D) in the place where you want to go to settle.”(E)

Jeremiah 42:20-22
King James Version
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.
