Christian Standard Bible
15 then hear the word of the Lord, remnant of Judah! This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel,(A) says: ‘If you are firmly resolved to go to Egypt(B) and stay there for a while, 16 then the sword(C) you fear will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine you are worried about will follow on your heels[a] there to Egypt, and you will die there. 17 All who resolve to go to Egypt to stay there for a while will die by the sword, famine, and plague. They will have no survivor or fugitive from the disaster I will bring on them.’
