12 And aI will show you mercy, that he may have mercy on you and cause you to return to your own land.’
13 “But if ayou say, ‘We will not dwell in this land,’ disobeying the voice of the Lord your God,
14 saying, ‘No, but we will go to the land of aEgypt where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor be hungry for bread, and there we will dwell’—
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 awholly set byour faces to enter Egypt, and go to dwell there,
16 then it shall be that the asword 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.
