Jeremiah 44:26–30

²⁶Therefore^p hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah, those who live in the land of Egypt: ‘Look, I hereby swear by my great name,’ says Yahweh, ‘surely my name will no longer be called in the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, “as the Lord Yahweh lives,”^q in all the land of Egypt. ²⁷Look, I am going to watch over them for harm and not for good, and all people^r of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will perish by the sword and by the famine until their perishing. ²⁸And the survivors of the sword will return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah few in number.^s And all the remnant of Judah who have come to the land of Egypt to dwell as aliens there will know whose word will endure, from me or from them. ²⁹And this will be to you the sign,’ declares^t Yahweh, ‘that I am going to punish you in this place, so that you may know that surely my words will endure against you for evil.’ ³⁰Thus says Yahweh: ‘Look, I am going to give Pharaoh Hophra, the king of Egypt, into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah the king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, his enemy and the one who sought his life.’ ”
