²⁶‘Therefore, hear ye a word of Jehovah, all Judah who are dwelling in the land of Egypt: Lo, I—I have sworn by My great name, said Jehovah, My name is no more proclaimed by the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, Live doth the Lord Jehovah—in all the land of Egypt. ²⁷Lo, I am watching over them for evil, and not for good, and consumed have been all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt, by sword and by famine, till their consumption.

²⁸‘And the escaped of the sword turn back out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number, and known have all the remnant of Judah who are coming into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, whose word is established, Mine or theirs.

²⁹‘And this is to you the sign—an affirmation of Jehovah—that I am seeing after you in this place, so that ye know that My words are certainly established against you for evil; ³⁰Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am giving Pharaoh-Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those seeking his life, as I have given Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and who is seeking his life.’
