Jeremiah 44:10-14 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

10. But to this day you have not humbled yourselves. You have not honoured me or lived according to all the laws that I gave you and your ancestors.

11. “So then, I, the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, will turn against you and destroy all Judah.

12. As for the people of Judah who are left and are determined to go and live in Egypt, I will see to it that all of them are destroyed. All of them, great and small, will die in Egypt, either in war or of starvation. They will be a horrifying sight; people will treat them with scorn and use their name as a curse.

13. I will punish those who live in Egypt, just as I punished Jerusalem — with war, starvation, and disease.

14. None of the people of Judah who are left and have come to Egypt to live will escape or survive. Not one of them will return to Judah, where they long to live once again. No one will return except a few refugees.”
