and if you say,‘ No, instead we’ll go to the land of Egypt where we will not see war or hear the sound of the ram’s horn or hunger for food, and we’ll live there,’then hear the word of the LORD, remnant of Judah! This is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says:‘ If you are firmly resolved to go to Egypt and stay there for a while,then the sword you fear will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine you are worried about will follow on your heels there to Egypt, and you will die there.All who resolve to go to Egypt to stay there for a while will die by the sword, famine, and plague. They will have no survivor or fugitive from the disaster I will bring on them.’“ For this is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says:‘ Just as my anger and fury were poured out on Jerusalem’s residents, so will my fury pour out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become an example for cursing, scorn, execration, and disgrace, and you will never see this place again.’The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah:‘ Don’t go to Egypt.’ Know for certain that I have warned you today!You have gone astray at the cost of your lives because you are the ones who sent me to the LORD your God, saying,‘ Pray to the LORD our God on our behalf, and as for all that the LORD our God says, tell it to us, and we’ll act accordingly.’For I have told you today, but you have not obeyed the LORD your God in everything he has sent me to tell you.Now therefore, know for certain that by the sword, famine, and plague you will die in the place where you desired to go to stay for a while.”
