Jeremiah 42:10-18

Great(i) 10 If ye wyll dwell in this lande, I shall buylde you vp, and not breake you downe: I shall plante you, and not rote you out: for I repent, as concernynge the trouble that I haue done to you. 11 Feare not the kynge of Babylon, of whom ye stand in awe, O, be not afrayed of him, sayeth the Lorde: for I wyll be wt you, to helpe you, and delyuer you from his hande. 12 I wyll pardon you, I wyll haue mercy vpon you, and cause him to pytie you, & bringe you agayne into youre awne lande. 13 Neuertheles, yf ye purpose not to dwell in this lande, ner to folowe the voyce of the Lorde youre God: 14 but wyll saye thus, we will not dwell here, but go into Egypt: where we shal nether se warre, heare the noyse of the trompe, ner suffre honger, there wyll we dwell. 15 Wherfore, heare nowe the worde of the Lord, O ye remnaunt of Iuda. Thus sayeth the Lorde of hoostes the God of Israel: If ye be wholy purposed to go into Egypte, & ye entre ther to dwell as straungers: 16 the swearde that ye feared shall ouer take you in Egypte and the honger wherof ye be here afrayed shall hange vpon you & folowe you into Egypte, and there ye shall dye. 17 And all they, that of sett purpose vndertake to go into Egipte to soiourne there, shall perysh with the swearde, with honger and pestilence: not one of them shall remayne, there shall none escape the plage, that I wyll brynge vpon them. 18 For thus sayeth the Lorde of hoostes the God of Israel: lyke as my wrath and indygnacyon is moued agaynst the inhabitatours of Ierusalem, so shall my displeasure be kyndled agaynst you also, yf ye go into Egypte: & there ye shalbe reuyled, abhorred, brought to shame and confusyon: and as for thys place, ye shall neuer se it more.
