Jeremiah 43:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

He will place his throne upon these stones which I, Jeremiah, have set up, and stretch his canopy above them.(A) 11 He shall come and strike the land of Egypt: with death, those marked for death; with exile, those marked for exile; with the sword, those marked for the sword.(B)
