*
then hear the word of the LORD ,
O remnant of Judah .
Thus says the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel :
If you set your faces to enter Egypt and go to live there ,
*
then the sword which you fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt ;
and the famine of which you are afraid shall follow hard after you to Egypt ;
and there you shall die .
*
All 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 no remnant or survivor from the evil which I will bring upon them .
* "
For thus says the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel :
As 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 .
You shall become an execration ,
a horror ,
a curse ,
and a taunt .
You shall see this place no more .
