Jeremiah 44:26–30

²⁶Therefore hear the word of the Lord, ^dall you of Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: ^gBehold, I have sworn by my great name, says the Lord, ^hthat my name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, ⁱsaying, ‘As the Lord God lives.’ ^27jBehold, I am watching over them for disaster and not for good. ^kAll the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end of them. ^28lAnd those who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, ^mfew in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who came to the land of Egypt to live, ⁿshall know whose word will stand, mine or theirs. ²⁹This shall be the sign to you, declares the Lord, that I will punish you in this place, in order that you may know that ^omy words will surely stand against you for harm: ³⁰Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will give ^pPharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies ^qand into the hand of those who seek his life, as I gave ^rZedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.”
