New American Standard Bible
24 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “(A)Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah who are (B)in the land of Egypt! 25 This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel [a]says: ‘As for you and your wives, you have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled it with your hands, saying, “We will (C)certainly perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn [b]sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her.” (D)By all means fulfill your vows, and be sure to perform your vows!’ 26 [c]In return, hear the word of the Lord, all Judah who are living in the land of Egypt: ‘Behold, I have (E)sworn by My great name,’ says the Lord, ‘that My name shall (F)never be invoked again by the mouth of anyone of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “(G)As the Lord [d]God lives.” 27 Behold, I am watching over them (H)for harm and not for good, and (I)all the people of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will [e]meet their end by the sword or by famine until they [f]are completely gone. 28 (J)Those who escape the sword will return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah [g](K)few in number. Then all the remnant of Judah who have gone to the land of Egypt to reside there will know (L)whose word will stand, Mine or theirs.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 Jeremiah said to all the people and all the women, “Hear the word of the Lord, all you Judeans who are in the land of Egypt,(A) 25 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You and your wives have accomplished in deeds what you declared in words, saying, ‘We are determined to perform the vows that we have made, to make offerings to the queen of heaven and to pour out libations to her.’ By all means, keep your vows and make your libations!(B) 26 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, all you Judeans who live in the land of Egypt: I swear by my great name, says the Lord, that my name shall no longer be pronounced on the lips of any of the people of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, ‘As the Lord God lives.’(C) 27 I am going to watch over them for harm and not for good; all the people of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall perish by the sword and by famine until not one is left.(D) 28 And those who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number, and all the remnant of Judah who have come to the land of Egypt to settle shall know whose words will stand, mine or theirs!(E)
