Jeremiah:42:14-22

*
Saying ,
No ;
but we will go into the land of Egypt ,
where we shall see no war ,
nor hear the sound of the trumpet ,
nor have hunger of bread ;
and there will we dwell :
*
And now therefore hear the word of the LORD ,
ye remnant of Judah ;
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt ,
and go to sojourn there ;
*
Then it shall come to pass ,
that the sword ,
which ye feared ,
shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt ,
and the famine ra #
ab #,
whereof ye were afraid ,
shall follow close after you there in Egypt ;
and there ye shall die .
*
So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there ;
they shall die by the sword ,
by the famine ra #
ab #,
and by the pestilence :
and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them .
*
For thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem ;
so shall my fury be poured forth upon you ,
when ye shall enter into Egypt :
and ye shall be an execration ,
and an astonishment ,
and a curse ,
and a reproach ;
and ye shall see this place no more .
*
The LORD hath said concerning you ,
O ye remnant of Judah ;
Go ye not into Egypt :
know certainly that I have admonished you this day .
*
For ye dissembled in your hearts ,
when ye sent me unto the LORD your God ,
saying ,
Pray for us unto the LORD our God ;
and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say ,
so declare unto us ,
and we will do it .
*
And now I have this day declared it to you ;
but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God ,
nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you .
*
Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword ,
by the famine ra #
ab #,
and by the pestilence ,
in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn .
