Jeremiah 44:12

Translations

Modern

And I will take away the remnant of Judah who have resolved to go to the land of Egypt to reside there; they will meet their end. They will all fall by the sword or be consumed by famine. From the least to the greatest, they will die by sword or famine; and they will become an object of cursing and horror, of vilification and reproach.

Traditional

And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

Literal

And I will take the remnant of Judah, those who have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to dwell there, and they will all finished off in the land of Egypt. They will fall by the sword, by the famine. They will be finished off from the small even to the great. By the sword and by the famine they will die, and they will be as an object of cursing, as a horror, and as a curse, and as a taunt!

Latin

Et assumam reliquias Judæ, qui posuerunt facies suas ut ingrederentur terram Ægypti, et habitarent ibi, et consumentur omnes in terra Ægypti: cadent in gladio, et in fame, et consumentur a minimo usque ad maximum: in gladio et in fame morientur, et erunt in jusjurandum, et in miraculum, et in maledictionem, et in opprobrium.

Notes

Jeremiah 44:12

Unlike those exiled to Babylon, to whom the Lord had given hope (see Jeremiah 33:7–18; Ezekiel 34:12–15; 36:24–31), this remnant of Judah had no future.
