Jeremiah 42:21

Therefore have I told you to-day,—and yet ye have not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh your God, even in any thing for which he hath sent me unto you.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

22Now, therefore, know ye certainly, that by sword, by famine, or by pestilence, shall ye die,—in the place whither ye have desired to go, to sojourn.
