Jeremiah 42:14

14 And if you insist, "No, we're going to live in Egypt, where there's no war, battle alarms, or hunger, and there we will stay,"

Jeremiah 42:14 In-Context

12 I will be merciful to you, and he will be merciful and return you to your land.
13 But if you say, "We won't live in this land," you will disobey the LORD your God.
14 And if you insist, "No, we're going to live in Egypt, where there's no war, battle alarms, or hunger, and there we will stay,"
15 then listen to the LORD's word, you remaining Judeans. The LORD of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims: If you are determined to go to Egypt and you then go and live there,
16 then the war you fear will seize you in the land of Egypt; and the famine you dread will hunt you down in Egypt, and there you will die.
