Jeremiah 42:13-17 NIV

[13] “However, if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ and so disobey the LORD your God, [14] and if you say, ‘No, we will go and live in Egypt, where we will not see war or hear the trumpet or be hungry for bread,’ [15] then hear the word of the Lord, you remnant of Judah. This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt and you do go to settle there, [16] then the sword you fear will overtake you there, and the famine you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die. [17] Indeed, all who are determined to go to Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, famine and plague; not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring on them.’
