1 Johanan, Jezaniah,42.1 Jezaniah: Hebrew "Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah"; one ancient translation "Azariah son of Hoshaiah" (see also 43.2 and the note there).the other army officers, and everyone else in the group, came to me 2 and said, "Please, Jeremiah, pray to the Lordyour God for us. Judah used to have many people, but as you can see, only a few of us are left. 3 Ask the Lordto tell us where he wants us to go and what he wants us to do."
4 "All right," I answered, "I will pray to the Lordyour God, and I will tell you everything he says."
5 They answered, "The Lordhimself will be our witness that we promise to do whatever he says, 6 even if it isn’t what we want to do. We will obey the Lordso that all will go well for us."
7 Ten days later, the Lordgave me an answer for 8 Johanan, the officers, and the other people. So I called them together 9 and told them that the LordGod of Israel had said:
You asked Jeremiah to pray and find out what you should do. 10 I am sorry that I had to punish you, and so I now tell you to stay here in Judah, where I will plant you and build you up, instead of tearing you down and uprooting you. 11 Don’t be afraid of the King of Babylonia. I will protect you from him, 12 and I will even force him to have mercy on you and give back your farms.
13 But you might keep on saying, "We won’t stay here in Judah, and we won’t obey the Lordour God. 14 We are going to Egypt, where there is plenty of food and no danger of war."
15 People of Judah, you survived when the Babylonian army attacked. Now you are planning to move to Egypt, and if you do go, this is what will happen. 16,17 You are afraid of war, starvation, and disease here in Judah, but they will follow you to Egyptand kill you there. None of you will survive the disasters I will send.
18 I, the Lord, was angry with the people of Jerusalemand punished them. And if you go to Egypt, I will be angry and punish you the same way. You will never again see your homeland. People will be horrified at what I do to you, and they will use the name of your city as a curse word.
Jeremiah Gives a Warning
19 I told the people:
You escaped the disaster that struck Judah, but now the Lordwarns you to stay away from Egypt. 20 You asked me to pray and find out what the Lordour God wants you to do, and you promised to obey him. But that was a terrible mistake, 21 because now that I have given you the Lord's answer, you refuse to obey him. 22 And so, you will die in Egyptfrom war, hunger, and disease.

Jeremiah, a priest from Anathoth, prophesied to Judah in the final days of the kingdom, announced the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon, and was persecuted and imprisoned for this (Jeremiah 1:1).
Egypt is the land where Abram went down because of famine and where Jacob and his sons went. Because Pharaoh refused to let Israel go, the Lord killed all the firstborn there (Exodus 13:15).
