Jeremiah 42:18

For—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel,—Just as mine anger and mine indignation have been poured out upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall mine indignation be poured out upon you when ye enter into Egypt,—thus shall ye become a curse, and an astonishment and a contempt and a reproach, and ye shall no more see this place.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

In Context
