27 ^jBehold, 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.

Judgment for Idolatry

1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Judeans who lived in the land of Egypt, at ⁱMigdol, at ^jTahpanhes, at Memphis, and in the land of ^kPathros,

12 I will take the remnant of Judah who have ^bset their faces to come to the land of Egypt to live, and they shall all be consumed. ^cIn the land of Egypt they shall fall; by the sword and by famine ^cthey shall be consumed. ^dFrom the least to the greatest, they shall die by the sword and by famine, ^eand they shall become an oath, a horror, ^va curse, and a taunt. 13 ^fI will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, 14 ^gso that none of the remnant of Judah who have come to live in the land of Egypt shall escape or survive ^hor return to the land of Judah, to which they desire to return to dwell there. For they shall not return, ⁱexcept some fugitives.”
