Jeremiah 42:15-22

Jeremiah 42:15-22

[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  your faces  to enter  into Egypt,  and go  to sojourn  [16] Then it shall come to pass, that the sword,  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] 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. [18] For thus saith  the LORD  of hosts,  the God  of Israel;  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  [19] The LORD  hath said  concerning you, O ye remnant  of Judah;  Go  ye not into Egypt:  know  that I have admonished  you this day.  [20] 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. [21] 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. [22] Now therefore know  that ye shall die  by the sword,  by the famine,  and by the pestilence,  in the place  whither ye desire  to go  and to sojourn.
