18 For[a] the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,[b] says, ‘If you go to Egypt, I will pour out my wrath on you just as I poured out my anger and wrath on the citizens of Jerusalem. You will become an object of horror and ridicule, an example of those who have been cursed and that people use in pronouncing a curse.[c] You will never see this place again.’[d]
