Context — Judgment on the Jews in Egypt
11Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I will set My face to bring disaster and to cut off all Judah.
12And I will take away the remnant of Judah who have resolved to go to the land of Egypt to reside there; they will meet their end. They will all fall by the sword or be consumed by famine. From the least to the greatest, they will die by sword or famine; and they will become an object of cursing and horror, of vilification and reproach. 13I will punish those who live in the land of Egypt, just as I punished Jerusalem, by sword and famine and plague,Cross References

Jeremiah 44:11 Summary
[This verse means that God is very upset with the people of Judah because they have disobeyed Him and worshipped other gods, and now He is going to bring disaster upon them. This is similar to what happened in the book of Judges, where God's people turned away from Him and worshipped idols, and He allowed them to be conquered by their enemies (Judges 2:10-15). God is a holy and just God, and He will not tolerate sin and rebellion, as seen in Psalm 99:1-9. He wants us to obey Him and live according to His commands, just like He told the Israelites in Deuteronomy 6:1-25.]
