1Yo, this is the word that hit Jeremiah about all the Jews chillin' in Egypt, at Migdol, Tahpanhes, Noph, and Pathros, like, for real.

2The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is like, "Y'all saw the chaos I brought to Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah; now they're just wrecked, and no one's livin' there, no cap."

3It's 'cause of their savage wickedness that they made me mad, burnin' incense and servin' gods they didn't even know, not them, not you, not your fam.

4I sent my prophets to you, like, "Wake up and don't do this sus thing that I can't stand!"

5But they were like, "Nah," and didn’t even bother to turn from their wickedness or stop burnin' incense to other gods.

6So my anger was lit, poured out in Judah and on the streets of Jerusalem; it's all wasted and desolate, fr.

7That's why the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, is askin', "Why y'all doin' this major evil to yourselves, cuttin' off man, woman, child, and baby from Judah, leavin' no one behind?"

8You’re makin' me mad with your hands' work, burnin' incense to other gods in Egypt, where you decided to live, and now you're just cursing yourselves and being a joke among all the nations.

9Have you really forgotten the wickedness of your fam, the kings of Judah, their wives, and your own wickedness in Judah and Jerusalem?

10They’re still not humble, don’t fear me, and ain’t walkin' in my law or the rules I set for you and your fam, periodt.

11So God’s like, “Listen up fam, I’m not vibing with you, about to bring the heat on Judah.”

12I’m taking the last squad of Judah who wanna dip to Egypt, but they’re gonna catch Ls there—sword and famine gonna hit hard, no cap, from the smallest to the biggest, they’re gonna be a whole mess.

13I’m coming for those chilling in Egypt, just like I did to Jerusalem, with the sword, famine, and pestilence—this is savage.

14So, none of Judah’s leftovers who bounced to Egypt gonna make it back to their home turf; only the ones who escape will return, fr.

15All the dudes who knew their wives were burning incense to other gods and the ladies too, a whole crowd, told Jeremiah, “Yo.”

16About what you said in God’s name? Nah, we’re not listening, periodt.

17We’re gonna do our own thing, burning incense to the queen of heaven and pouring out drinks like we always did with our fam and kings, 'cause back then we were living good, no drama.

18But since we stopped vibing with the queen of heaven, we’ve been struggling, sword and famine hitting hard, it’s rough out here.

19When we were burning incense and pouring drinks for the queen, did we make her cakes and offer stuff without the guys? Like, for real?

20Then Jeremiah told everyone, guys and gals, and all the peeps who replied like that, “Listen up.”

21Yo, the incense you burned in Judah and Jerusalem, your fam, kings, and the people? God totally didn’t forget, but it just didn’t vibe with Him.

22The Lord couldn’t deal with the bad vibes from your actions and the sus stuff you did; now your land’s a whole desolation, no cap.

23You burned incense and dissed the Lord by not listening or following His laws; that’s why all this chaos is hitting you, fr.

24Jeremiah’s like, “Listen up, all you peeps and ladies in Egypt, hear what the Lord’s saying!”

25The Lord’s got something to say: You and your wives are talking big, promising to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and you better follow through, periodt.

26So listen up, Judah in Egypt; I swear by my name that nobody’s gonna be saying my name anymore, like, “The Lord God lives.”

27I’m keeping an eye on you for bad stuff, not good; all the dudes from Judah in Egypt are gonna get wiped out by the sword and famine, no lie.

28A few will escape the sword and bounce back to Judah from Egypt, and all the remnant of Judah chilling in Egypt will know whose words hit different, mine or yours.

29This is your sign, says the Lord: I’m gonna punish you here, so you know my words are coming for you, no cap.

30The Lord’s saying: Check it, I’m handing over Pharaoh king of Egypt to his enemies, just like I did with Zedekiah king of Judah to Nebuchadrezzar, his enemy.

1The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,

2Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,

3Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.

4Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

5But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.

6Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.

7Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;

8In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

9Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

10They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

11Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.

12And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

13For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:

14So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.

15Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

16As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken unto thee.

17But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

18But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

19And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?

20Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,

21The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the Lord remember them, and came it not into his mind?

22So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.

23Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the Lord, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.

24Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:

25Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.

26Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liveth.

27Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.

28Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.

29And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the Lord, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:

30Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give Pharaoh–hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
