[5 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/5) Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us. [6 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/6) Whether *it be* good, or whether *it be* evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God. [7 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/7) ¶ And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah. [8 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/8) Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which *were* with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, [9 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/9) And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him; [10 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/10) If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull *you* down, and I will plant you, and not pluck *you* up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you. [11 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/11) Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I *am* with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. [12 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/12) And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land. [13 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/13) ¶ But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God, [14 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/14) Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell: [15 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/15) And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there; [16 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/16) Then it shall come to pass, *that* the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.* [17 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/17) So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.* [18 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/18) For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/19) ¶ The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.* [20 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/20) For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do *it*.* [21 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/21) And *now* I have this day declared *it* to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any *thing* for the which he hath sent me unto you. [22 ](/kjv/jeremiah/42/22) Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go *and* to sojourn.* [Jeremiah 41](/kjv/jeremiah/41) [Jeremiah 43](/kjv/jeremiah/43) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/jeremiah/42/7-22#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/jeremiah/42/7-22#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/jeremiah/42/7-22","name":"Jeremiah 42:7-22 KJV - \"And it came to pass after ten days, th...\" | Real Bible Believers","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/jeremiah/42/7-22#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"\"And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah.
