Jeremiah 42:22New American Bible - revised editionHave no doubt about this: you shall die by the sword, famine, and disease in the place where you want to go and live. See the chapter |
I will take away the remnant of Judah who insisted on going to the land of Egypt to live there; in the land of Egypt they shall meet their end. They shall fall by the sword or be consumed by hunger. From the least to the greatest, they shall die by sword or hunger; they shall become a malediction, a horror, a curse, a reproach.
