So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. None of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.’

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૪૨:૧૭
તમારામાંથી જે લોકો મિસરમાં જઈને ત્યાં વસવાનો આગ્રહ રાખે છે તે પ્રત્યેક માટે આ વિપત્તિઓ રાહ જોઈ રહી છે. હા, તમે તલવાર, દુકાળ અને મરકીથી મૃત્યુ પામશો. ત્યાં હું તમારા પર જે સર્વ વિપત્તિઓ લાવીશ તેમાંથી કોઈ પણ બચવા પામશે નહિ.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ४२:१७
जितने मनुष्य मिस्र में रहने के लिये उसकी ओर मुँह करें, वे सब तलवार, अकाल और मरी से मरेंगे, और जो विपत्ति मैं उनके बीच डालूँगा, उससे कोई बचा न रहेगा।

In context

15now therefore hear the LORD’s word, O remnant of Judah! The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there,

16then it will happen that the sword, which you fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, will follow close behind you there in Egypt; and you will die there.

17So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. None of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.’

18For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and my wrath has been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you, when you enter into Egypt; and you will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you will see this place no more.’

19“The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, ‘Don’t go into Egypt!’ Know certainly that I have testified to you today.
