26. “But listen to this message from the lord, all you Judeans now living in Egypt: ‘I have sworn by my great name,’ says the lord, ‘that my name will no longer be spoken by any of the Judeans in the land of Egypt. None of you may invoke my name or use this oath: “As surely as the Sovereign lord lives.”
27. For I will watch over you to bring you disaster and not good. Everyone from Judah who is now living in Egypt will suffer war and famine until all of you are dead.
28. Only a small number will escape death and return to Judah from Egypt. Then all those who came to Egypt will find out whose words are true—mine or theirs!
29. “‘And this is the proof I give you,’ says the lord, ‘that all I have threatened will happen to you and that I will punish you here.’
30. This is what the lord says: ‘I will turn Pharaoh Hophra, king of Egypt, over to his enemies who want to kill him, just as I turned King Zedekiah of Judah over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.’”
