Jeremiah 42:19 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 42:19

The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah
Or, "unto you" F23; by the mouth of the prophet; or, "against you" F24; that which was contrary to their inclination and will, as follows: go ye not into Egypt:
this was the express command of God: know certainly that I have admonished you this day;
not to go into Egypt: or, "have testified unto you" F25; the will of God concerning this matter; and therefore they could not plead ignorance.

Jeremiah 42:19 In-Context

17 omnesque viri qui posuerint faciem suam ut ingrediantur Aegyptum et habitent ibi morientur gladio et fame et peste nullus de eis remanebit nec effugient a facie mali quod ego adferam super eos
18 quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel sicut conflatus est furor meus et indignatio mea super habitatores Hierusalem sic conflabitur indignatio mea super vos cum ingressi fueritis Aegyptum et eritis in iusiurandum et in stuporem et in maledictum et in obprobrium et nequaquam ultra videbitis locum istum
19 verbum Domini super vos reliquiae Iuda nolite intrare Aegyptum scientes scietis quia obtestatus sum vobis hodie
20 quia decepistis animas vestras vos enim misistis me ad Dominum Deum nostrum dicentes ora pro nobis ad Dominum Deum nostrum et iuxta omnia quaecumque dixerit tibi Dominus Deus noster sic adnuntia nobis et faciemus
21 et adnuntiavi vobis hodie et non audistis vocem Domini Dei vestri super universis pro quibus misit me ad vos
