‏ Jeremiah 42:14-16

14 and saying, ‘No, ^awe will go to the land of Egypt, where we shall not see war or ^bhear the sound of the trumpet or ^cbe hungry for bread, and we will dwell there,’ 15 then hear the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ^dIf you set your faces to enter Egypt ^eand go to live there, 16 then the sword ^fthat you fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which you are afraid shall follow close after you to Egypt, ^gand there you shall die.
