13 And if you⁺ are saying ‘We do not dwell in this land, so as not to listen to the voice of YHWH your⁺ God, 14 saying, ‘No, but we will go to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, and the voice of the shofar will we not hear, and we will not be hungry for bread, and there we will dwell,’ 15 then now thus will you hear the word of YHWH, O remnant of Judah! Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘If you⁺ really set your⁺ faces to go to Egypt, and to go to dwell there, 16 then it will come to pass that the sword that you⁺ were afraid of it, will overtake you⁺ there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which you⁺ were afraid, will follow close after you⁺ there in Egypt, and there you⁺ will die! 17 And will it come to pass with all the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to dwell there, that they will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, and will there be of them no survivor or escapee from the disaster that I am bringing upon them!’ 18 For thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘As My anger and My fury were poured out on those dwelling in Jerusalem, so My fury will be poured out on you⁺ in your⁺ coming to Egypt. And you⁺ will become as an object of cursing, and as a horror, and as a curse, and a reproach; and you⁺ will not see this place again. 19 YHWH has said concerning you⁺, O remnant of Judah: ‘Do not go to Egypt!’ Know you⁺ for sure that I have given a warning to you⁺ this day 20 that you⁺ have gone astray in your⁺ souls, when you⁺ sent me to YHWH your⁺ God, saying, ‘Pray on our behalf to YHWH our God, and according to all that YHWH our God says, so declare it to us, and we will do it! 21 And I have declared it to you⁺ this day, and you⁺ have not listened to the voice of YHWH your⁺ God, and in all that He has sent me to you⁺. 22 And now, know you⁺ for sure that by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence you⁺ will die in the place where you⁺ delight to go to dwell there.
