The Flight to Egypt Forbidden

42Now all the captains of the forces, Johanan the son of Kareah, Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people, from the least to the greatest, came nearH8269H2428H3110H1121H7143H3153H1121H1955H5971H6996H1419H5066 2and said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please, let our petition be acceptable to you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, for all this remnant (since we are left but a few of many, as you can see),H559H3414H5030H8467H5307H6440H6419H3068H430H7611H7604H4592H7235H5869H7200 3"that the LORD your God may show us the way in which we should walk and the thing we should do."H3068H430H5046H1870H3212H1697H6213 4Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, "I have heard. Indeed, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words, and it shall be, that whatever the LORD answers you, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you."H3414H5030H559H8085H6419H3068H430H1697H1697H3068H6030H5046H4513H1697H4513 5So they said to Jeremiah, "Let the LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not do according to everything which the LORD your God sends us by you.H559H3414H3068H571H539H5707H6213H1697H3068H430H7971 6"Whether it is pleasing or displeasing, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we send you, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the LORD our God."H2896H7451H8085H6963H3068H430H580H7971H3190H8085H6963H3068H430 7And it happened after ten days that the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.H7093H6235H3117H1697H3068H3414 8Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah, all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,H7121H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H5971H6996H1419 9and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before Him:H559H559H3068H430H3478H7971H5307H8467H6440 10'If you will still remain in this land, then I will build you and not pull you down, and I will plant you and not pluck you up. For I relent concerning the disaster that I have brought upon you.H7725H3427H776H1129H2040H5193H5428H5162H7451H6213 11'Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him,' says the LORD, 'for I am with you, to save you and deliver you from his hand.H3372H6440H4428H894H6440H3373H3372H5002H3068H3467H5337H3027 12'And I will show you mercy, that he may have mercy on you and cause you to return to your own land.'H5414H7356H7355H7725H127 13"But if you say, 'We will not dwell in this land,' disobeying the voice of the LORD your God,H559H3427H776H8085H6963H3068H430 14"saying, 'No, but we will go to the land of Egypt where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor be hungry for bread, and there we will dwell'—H559H935H776H4714H7200H4421H8085H6963H7782H7456H3899H3427 15"Then hear now the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah! Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'If you wholly set your faces to enter Egypt, and go to dwell there,H8085H1697H3068H7611H3063H559H3068H6635H430H3478H7760H7760H6440H935H4714H935H1481 16'then it shall be that the sword which you feared shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; the famine of which you were afraid shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there you shall die.H2719H3373H5381H776H4714H7458H1672H1692H310H4714H4191 17'So shall it be with all the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to dwell there. They shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. And none of them shall remain or escape from the disaster that I will bring upon them.'H582H7760H6440H935H4714H1481H4191H2719H7458H1698H8300H6412H6440H7451H935 18"For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'As My anger and My fury have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so will My fury be poured out on you when you enter Egypt. And you shall be an oath, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you shall see this place no more.'H559H3068H6635H430H3478H639H2534H5413H3427H3389H2534H5413H935H4714H423H8047H7045H2781H7200H4725 19"The LORD has said concerning you, O remnant of Judah, 'Do not go to Egypt!' Know certainly that I have admonished you this day.H3068H1696H7611H3063H935H4714H3045H3045H5749H3117 20"For you were hypocrites in your hearts when you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, 'Pray for us to the LORD our God, and according to all that the LORD your God says, so declare to us and we will do it.'H8582H5315H7971H3068H430H559H6419H3068H430H3068H430H559H5046H6213 21"And I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, or anything which He has sent you by me.H3117H5046H8085H6963H3068H430H7971 22"Now therefore, know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place where you desire to go to dwell."H3045H3045H4191H2719H7458H1698H4725H2654H935H1481
