24:042:009 And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;
24:042:010 If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you,
and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you
up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
24:042:011 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid;
be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to
save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
24:042:012 And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon
you, and cause you to return to your own land.
24:042:013 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey
the voice of the LORD your God,
24:042:014 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
24:042:015 And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of
Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye
wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn
there;
24:042:016 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared,
shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine,
whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in
Egypt; and there ye shall die.
24:042:017 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go
into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by
the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall
remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
24:042:018 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
