19Yahweh has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah: Do not go to Egypt. Know for certain that I have warned you today.

20For you have deceived yourselves, because you sent me to Yahweh your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to Yahweh our God, and whatever Yahweh our God says, tell us, and we will do it.’

21I have told you today, but you have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh your God or anything for which he sent me to you.

22Now therefore, know for certain that you will die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place where you desired to go to sojourn there.
