Read in context

Jeremiah 42:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Just as My anger and wrath were poured out on the residents of Jerusalem, so will My wrath be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become an object of cursing and horror, of vilification and disgrace, and you will never see this place again.’

19 The LORD has told you, O remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’ Know for sure that I have warned you today!

20 For you have deceived yourselves by sending me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray to the LORD our God on our behalf, and as for all that the LORD our God says, tell it to us and we will do it.’

21 For I have told you today, but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in all He has sent me to tell you.

22 Now therefore, know for sure that by sword and famine and plague you will die in the place where you desire to go to reside.”
