26
Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Jews dwelling in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord, my name shall no longer be in the mouth of every Jew to say, The Lord lives, in all the land of Egypt.
27
For I have watched over them, to hurt them, and not to do them good: and all the Jews dwelling in the land of Egypt shall perish by sword and by famine, until they are utterly consumed.
28
And they that escape the sword shall return to the land of Juda few in number, and the remnant of Juda, who have continued in the land Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand.
29
And this a sign to you, that I will visit you for evil.
30
Thus said the Lord; Behold, I give Uaphres king of Egypt into the hands of his enemy, and into the hands of one that seeks his life; as I gave Sedekias king of Juda into the hands of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, his enemy, and who sought his life.
31
THE WORD WHICH JEREMIAS THE PROPHET spoke to Baruch son of Nerias, when he wrote these words in the book from the mouth of Jeremias, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda.
32
Thus has the Lord said to thee, O Baruch.
33
Whereas thou hast said, Alas! alas! for the Lord has laid a grievous trouble upon me; I lay down in groaning, I found no rest;
34
say thou to him, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I pull down those whom I have built up, and I pluck up those whom I have planted.
35
And wilt thou seek great things for thyself? seek not: for, behold, I bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but I will give thy life for a spoil in every place whither thou shalt go.
