Jeremiah 42:19–22

Part 3 of 3 · Complete, unabridged verses · No AI retelling

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

²⁰For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God says, so declare to us, and we will do it.’↗

²¹I have declared it to you today; but you have not obeyed the LORD your God’s voice in anything for which he has sent me to you.↗

²²Now therefore know certainly that you will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”↗
