*
saying , "
No ,
but we will go to the land of Egypt where we shall see no war ,
nor hear the sound of the trumpet ,
nor be hungry for bread ,
and there we will dwell '--
*
Then hear now the word of the LORD ,
O remnant of Judah !
Thus says the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel : "
If you wholly set your faces to enter Egypt ,
and go to dwell there ,
*
then it shall be that the sword which you feared shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt ;
the famine of which you were afraid shall follow close after you there in Egypt ;
and there you shall die .
*
So shall it be with all the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to dwell there .
They shall die by the sword ,
by famine ,
and by pestilence .
And none of them shall remain or escape from the disaster that I will bring upon them .'
* "
For thus says the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel : "
As My anger and My fury have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
so will My fury be poured out on you when you enter Egypt .
And you shall be an oath ,
an astonishment ,
a curse ,
and a reproach ;
and you shall see this place no more .'
* "
The LORD has said concerning you ,
O remnant of Judah , "
Do not go to Egypt !'
Know certainly that I have admonished you this day .
*
For you were hypocrites in your hearts when you sent me to the LORD your God ,
saying , "
Pray for us to the LORD our God ,
and according to all that the LORD your God says ,
so declare to us and we will do it .'
*
And I have this day declared it to you ,
but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God ,
or anything which He has sent you by me .
*
Now therefore ,
know certainly that you shall die by the sword ,
by famine ,
and by pestilence in the place where you desire to go to dwell ."
