Jeremiah 42:13-18

13 aBut if you say, ‘We will not remain in this land,’ disobeying the voice of the Lord your God 14and saying, ‘No, bwe will go to the land of Egypt, where we shall not see war or chear the sound of the trumpet or dbe hungry for bread, and we will dwell there,’ 15then hear the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: eIf you set your faces to enter Egypt fand go to live there, 16then the sword gthat you fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which you are afraid shall follow close after you to Egypt, hand there you shall die. 17All the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to live there shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. They shall have ino remnant or survivor from the disaster that I will bring upon them.

18For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: jAs my anger and my wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. kYou shall become an execration, a horror, a curse, and a taunt. You shall see this place no more.
