Jeremiah 42:13-17
New International Version
Jeremiah 42:13-17
New International Version
13 “However, if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ and so disobey(A) the Lord your God, 14 and if you say, ‘No, we will go and live in Egypt,(B) where we will not see war or hear the trumpet(C) or be hungry for bread,’(D) 15 then hear the word of the Lord,(E) you remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt and you do go to settle there, 16 then the sword(F) you fear(G) will overtake you there, and the famine(H) you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die.(I) 17 Indeed, all who are determined to go to Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, famine and plague;(J) not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring on them.’

Jeremiah 42:13-17
King James Version
13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the Lord your God,
14 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:
15 And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
17 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, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
