Jeremiah 42:10-18 `If you do certainly dwell in this land, then I have builded you up, and I throw not down; and I have planted you, and I pluck not up; for I have repented concerning the evil that I have done to you."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ `If you do certainly dwell in this land, then I have builded you up, and I throw not down; and I have planted you, and I pluck not up; for I have repented concerning the evil that I have done to you." ¹¹ Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you are afraid of; be not afraid of him--an affirmation of Yahweh--for with you [am] I, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand." ¹² And I give to you mercies, and he has pitied you, and caused you to turn back unto your own ground." ¹³ `And if you are saying, We do not dwell in this land--not to hearken to the voice of Yahweh your Elohim, ¹⁴ saying, No; but the land of Egypt we enter, that we see no war, and the sound of a trumpet do not hear, and for bread be not hungry; and there do we dwell." ¹⁵ And now, therefore, hear you a word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah:Thus said Yahweh of Hosts, Elohim of Israel:If you really set your faces to enter Egypt, and have gone in to sojourn there, ¹⁶ then it has come to pass, the sword that you are afraid of, does there overtake you, in the land of Egypt; and the hunger, because of which you are sorrowful, does there cleave after you in Egypt, and there you die." ¹⁷ `Thus are all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there; they die--by sword, by hunger, and by pestilence, and there is not to them a remnant and an escaped one, because of the evil that I am bringing in upon them;" ¹⁸ for thus said Yahweh of Hosts, Elohim of Israel:As poured out has been Mine anger and My fury on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so poured out is My fury upon you in your entering Egypt, and you have been for an execration, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach, and you do not see any more this place."
