9 He said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition, says:
10 "If you are willing to go on living in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not pull you up. The destruction I brought on you has caused me great sorrow.
10 ‘If you stay in this land, I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you, for I have relented concerning the disaster I have inflicted on you.
11 Stop being afraid of the king of Babylonia. I am with you, and I will rescue you from his power.
11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear. Do not be afraid of him, declares the LORD, for I am with you and will save you and deliver you from his hands.
12 Because I am merciful, I will make him have mercy on you and let you go back home. I, the Lord, have spoken.'
12 I will show you compassion so that he will have compassion on you and restore you to your land.’
13 "But you people who are left in Judah must not disobey the Lord your God and refuse to live in this land. You must not say, "No, we will go and live in Egypt, where we won't face war any more or hear the call to battle or go hungry.' If you say this, then the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says, "If you are determined to go and live in Egypt,
13 “However, if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ and so disobey the LORD your God,
16 then the war that you fear will overtake you, and the hunger you dread will follow you, and you will die there in Egypt.
16 then the sword you fear will overtake you there, and the famine you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die.
17 All the people who are determined to go and live in Egypt will die either in war or of starvation or disease. Not one of them will survive, not one will escape the disaster that I am going to bring on them.'
17 Indeed, all who are determined to go to Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, famine and plague; not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring on them.’
18 "The Lord, the God of Israel, says, "Just as my anger and fury were poured out on the people of Jerusalem, so my fury will be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. You will be a horrifying sight; people will make fun of you and use your name as a curse. You will never see this place again.' "
18 This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and wrath have been poured out on those who lived in Jerusalem, so will my wrath be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You will be a curse and an object of horror, a curse and an object of reproach; you will never see this place again.’
19 Then I continued, "The Lord has told you people who are left in Judah not to go to Egypt. And so I warn you now
19 “Remnant of Judah, the LORD has told you, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’ Be sure of this: I warn you today
20 that you are making a fatal mistake. You asked me to pray to the Lord our God for you, and you promised that you would do everything that he commands.
20 that you made a fatal mistake when you sent me to the LORD your God and said, ‘Pray to the LORD our God for us; tell us everything he says and we will do it.’
21 And now I have told you, but you are disobeying everything that the Lord our God sent me to tell you.
21 I have told you today, but you still have not obeyed the LORD your God in all he sent me to tell you.
22 So then, remember this: you will die in war or of starvation or disease in the land where you want to go and live."
22 So now, be sure of this: You will die by the sword, famine and plague in the place where you want to go to settle.”
