Jeremiah 42:11-14 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

11. Don't be afraid of the King of Babylonia. I will protect you from him,

12. and I will even force him to have mercy on you and give back your farms.

13. But you might keep on saying, “We won't stay here in Judah, and we won't obey the Lord our God.

14. We are going to Egypt, where there is plenty of food and no danger of war.”
