Jeremiah 44:26–30

²⁶Therefore hear the word of the Lord, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: ‘Behold, ^zI have sworn by My ^agreat name,’ says the Lord, ‘that ^bMy name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “The Lord God lives.” ²⁷Behold, I will watch over them for adversity and not for good. And all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt ^cshall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end to them. ²⁸Yet ^da small number who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah; and all the remnant of Judah, who have gone to the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose words will stand, Mine or theirs. ²⁹And this shall be a sign to you,’ says the Lord, ‘that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that My words will surely ^estand against you for adversity.’

³⁰“Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, ^fI will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, as I gave ^gZedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy who sought his life.’ ”
