WARNING AGAINST APPROACHING MISRAYIM
And all the governors of the valiant and Yah Hanan the son of Qareach and Yezan Yah the son of Hosha Yah and all the people from the least even to the greatest come near, 2 and say to Yirme Yah the prophet, Accept, we beseech you, our supplication at your face; and pray for us to Yah Veh your Elohim for all these survivors - for only a few from an abundance survive as your eyes see: 3 that Yah Veh your Elohim tell us the way to walk and the word to work. 4 And Yirme Yah the prophet says to them, I hear! Behold, I pray to Yah Veh your Elohim according to your words: and so be it, whatever word Yah Veh answers you, I tell you; I withhold no word from you. 5 And they say to Yirme Yah, Yah Veh is, in truth, a faithful witness between us, if we work not according to all the word for which Yah Veh your Elohim sends you to us: 6 whether good; whether evil; we hearken to the voice of Yah Veh our Elohim, to whom we send you - that it well-please us when we hearken to the voice of Yah Veh our Elohim. 7 And so be it, at the end of ten days, the word of Yah Veh comes to Yirme Yah: 8 and he calls Yah Hanan the son of Qareach and all the governors of the valiant with him and all the people from the least even to the greatest; 9 and says to them, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to whom you sent me to fell your supplication at his face: 10 If you return and settle in this land, then I build you, and break you not; and I plant you, and uproot you not: for I sigh of the evil I worked to you. 11 Awe not the sovereign of Babel whose face you fear; awe him not - an oracle of Yah Veh for I am with you to save you and to rescue you from his hand: 12 and I give you mercies, that he mercy you and restore you to your own soil. 13 And if you say, We neither settle in this land nor hearken to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim, 14 saying, No! - but we enter the land of Misrayim where we neither see war nor hear the voice of the shophar nor hunger for bread - and there we settle: 15 and now so, hear the word of Yah Veh - you survivors of Yah Hudah; Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: If in setting, you set your faces to enter Misrayim and go to sojourn there; 16 then so be it, the sword you fear overtakes you there in the land of Misrayim; and the famine whereof you are concerned adheres to you there in Misrayim - and there you die: 17 and so be it with all the men who set their faces to go into Misrayim to sojourn there: they die by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence: and there are no survivors or escapees from the face of the evil I bring on them. 18 For thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: As my wrath and my fury pours on the settlers of Yeru Shalem; thus my fury pours on you when you enter Misrayim: and you become an oath and a desolation and an abasement and a reproach; and you see this place no more. 19 Yah Veh words concerning you, O you survivors of Yah Hudah; Enter not Misrayim: in knowing, know that I witness to you this day: 20 for your souls strayed, when you sent me to Yah Veh your Elohim, saying, Pray for us to Yah Veh our Elohim; and according to all Yah Veh our Elohim says, tell us, and we work. 21 And this day I tell you; but you neither hearken to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim nor for aught for which he sent me to you. 22 And now, in knowing, know that you die by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence in the place where you desire to go to sojourn.
