Jeremiah 42:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 then [a]in that case listen to the word of the Lord, you remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “If you really set your [b]minds to enter (A)Egypt and go in to reside there, 16 then the (B)sword, of which you are afraid, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are anxious, will follow closely after you there in Egypt, and you will die there. 17 So all the people who set their [c]minds to go to Egypt to reside there will die by the (C)sword, by famine, or by plague; and they will (D)have no refugees or survivors from the disaster that I am going to bring on them.”’”

New International Version
15 then hear the word of the Lord,(A) you remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt and you do go to settle there, 16 then the sword(B) you fear(C) will overtake you there, and the famine(D) you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die.(E) 17 Indeed, all who are determined to go to Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, famine and plague;(F) not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring on them.’
