The Remnant in Egypt · Jeremiah 44

11Therefore, this is what Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Behold, I am setting my face against you for harm, to cut off all Judah.

12And I will take the remnant of Judah who have set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they will all come to an end in the land of Egypt. They will fall by the sword and by famine; from the least even to the greatest, they will come to an end. By the sword and by famine they will die, and they will become an oath, a horror, a curse, and a reproach.

13And I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, just as I punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence.

14So there will be no fugitive or survivor for the remnant of Judah who are coming to sojourn there in the land of Egypt and then to return to the land of Judah, to which they are lifting up their soul to return and dwell there; for they will not return, except for fugitives.
