12 And I will (A)take away the remnant of Judah who have set their (a)mind on entering the land of Egypt to reside there, and they will all (b)(B)meet their end in the land of Egypt; they will fall by the sword and meet their end by famine. Both small and great will die by the sword and famine; and they will become a (C)curse, an object of horror, an imprecation and a reproach. 13 And I will (D)punish those who live in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with famine and with pestilence. 14 So there will be (E)no refugees or survivors for the remnant of Judah who have entered the land of Egypt to reside there and then to return to the land of Judah, to which they are (c)(F)longing to return and live; for none will (G)return except a few refugees.’”
