Jeremiah 42:17
"then it will happen that the sword, which you fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, will follow close behind you there in Egypt; and you will die there."
Key Reflection
This passage symbolizes the inevitable consequences of disobedience. Just as the Israelites feared the sword and famine in Egypt, these same fears come to pass, illustrating that God's judgments follow those who reject His will, even in foreign lands.
