In Context

12and I will take the remnant of Judah who did set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, in the land of Egypt, shall they fall by the sword, by famine, shall they be consumed, from the least even unto the greatest, by sword and by famine, shall they die,—so shall they become a curse, and an astonishment, and a contempt and a reproach;

14and there shall be neither escape nor survival, unto the remnant of Judah who have been entering, to sojourn there into the land of Egypt,—that they should return to the land of Judah even when they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell there, for none shall return, saving fugitives.
