- If:
- If ye are determined to go into Egypt, the evils which ye dreaded by staying in your own land shall overtake and destroy you there; "and there shall ye die." God turned the policy of the wicked to their own destruction; for while they thought themselves safe in Egypt, there Nebuchadnezzar destroyed both them and the Egyptians. "So shall it be¹ with all¹ the men²¹ that¹ setª°¹ their facesª to go²° into¹ Egyptª to sojournª° there;¹ they shall dieª° by the sword,ª by the famine,ª and by the pestilence:ª and none¹ of them shall¹ remainª or escapeª fromª¹ the evilª that¹ I¹ will bringª° upon¹ them." {Jer 42:17} + "And I will takeª°¹ the remnantª of Judah,ª that¹ have setª° their facesª to go²° into¹ the landª of Egyptª to sojournª° there,¹ and they shall all¹ be consumed,ª° [and] fallª° in the landª of Egypt;ª they shall [even] be consumedª° by the swordª [and] by the famine:ª they shall die,ª° from the leastª¹ even unto¹ the greatest,ª by the swordª and by the famine:ª and they shall be¹ an execration,ª [and] an astonishment,ª and a curse,ª and a reproach.ª ... So that none¹ of the remnantª of Judah,ª which are goneª° into the landª of Egyptª to sojournª° there,¹ shall¹ escapeª or remain,ª that they should returnª° into the landª of Judah,ª to the which¹ they¹ have²° a desireª¹¹ to returnª° to dwellª° there:¹ for¹ none¹ shall returnª° but¹¹ such as shall escape.²¹" {Jer 44:12-14} + "So he¹ fledª° with all¹ that¹ he had; and he rose up,ª° and passed overª°¹ the river,ª and setª°¹ his faceª [toward] the mountª Gilead.ª" {Gen 31:21} + "But¹ he shall not¹ multiplyª° horsesª to himself, nor¹ cause¹ the peopleª to returnª° to Egypt,ª to the end that¹ he should multiplyª° horses:ª forasmuch as the LORDª hath saidª° unto you, Ye shall henceforthª° returnª° no¹ more¹ that¹ way.ª" {Deu 17:16} + "He shall also setª° his faceª to enterª° with the strengthª of his whole¹ kingdom,ª and upright onesª with¹ him; thus shall he do:ª° and he shall giveª° him the daughterª of women,ª corruptingª° her: but she shall not¹ standª° [on his side], neither¹ be¹ for him." {Dan 11:17} + "Andª it came to pass,ª° when² the¹ timeª was comeª° that¹ heª should be received up,ª² heª stedfastly setª° his²¹ faceª to goª° toª Jerusalem,ª" {Lke 9:51}
