Jeremiah 42:19-22
Legacy Standard Bible
19 Yahweh has spoken to you, O remnant of Judah, “Do not (A)go into Egypt!” You should clearly (B)know that today I have (C)testified against you. 20 For you have only [a](D)led yourselves astray; for it is you who sent me to Yahweh your God, saying, “Pray for us to Yahweh our God; and according to all that Yahweh our God says, tell us so, and we will do it.” 21 So I have (E)told you today, but you have (F)not listened to the voice of Yahweh your God, even according to all that He has sent me to tell you. 22 So now, you should clearly know that you will (G)die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, in the (H)place where you desire to go to sojourn.

Jeremiah 42:19-22
New Living Translation
19 “Listen, you remnant of Judah. The Lord has told you: ‘Do not go to Egypt!’ Don’t forget this warning I have given you today. 20 For you were not being honest when you sent me to pray to the Lord your God for you. You said, ‘Just tell us what the Lord our God says, and we will do it!’ 21 And today I have told you exactly what he said, but you will not obey the Lord your God any better now than you have in the past. 22 So you can be sure that you will die from war, famine, and disease in Egypt, where you insist on going.”
