A Warning against Going to Egypt

Summary

In this verse, Jeremiah warns the remnant of Judah that if they disobey the Lord's command to stay in the land of Judah, they will face destruction and perish by the sword, famine, and plague. Despite their plea for guidance and assurance, Jeremiah conveys the message that their fate is sealed if they choose to disobey God's clear instruction. This serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of heeding God's word to avoid calamity.
