Jeremiah 42:14
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
and if you say, ‘No, but we will go to the land of Egypt and live there, where we will not see war or hear the sound of the ram’s horn or hunger for bread,’
In context
12 And I will show you compassion, and he will have compassion on you and restore you to your own land.’
13 But if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ and you thus disobey the voice of the LORD your God,
14 and if you say, ‘No, but we will go to the land of Egypt and live there, where we will not see war or hear the sound of the ram’s horn or hunger for bread,’
15 then hear the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah! This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt and reside there,
16 then the sword you fear will overtake you there, and the famine you dread will follow on your heels into Egypt, and you will die there.
