Jeremiah 42:19-22
English Standard Version
19 The Lord has said to you, O remnant of Judah, (A)‘Do not go to Egypt.’ (B)Know for a certainty that I have warned you this day 20 that you have gone astray at the cost of your lives. (C)For you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, (D)‘Pray for us to the Lord our God, and (E)whatever the Lord our God says, declare to us and we will do it.’ 21 And I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God in anything (F)that he sent me to tell you. 22 (G)Now therefore know for a certainty that you shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”
