9 and to say to(wards) them thus to say LORD God Israel which to send: depart [obj] me to(wards) him to/for to fall: presenting supplication your to/for face: before his

Jeremiah told them, This what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to those of who you sent to me to present your request:

10 if to return: again to dwell in/on/with land: country/planet [the] this and to build [obj] you and not to overthrow and to plant [obj] you and not to uproot for to be sorry: relent to(wards) [the] distress: harm which to make: do to/for you

If you will stay right here in this country, then I will build you up and I won't tear you down; I will plant you and I won't uproot you; because I'm very sad about the disaster I have brought down on you.

11 not to fear from face of king Babylon which you(m. p.) afraid from face of his not to fear from him utterance LORD for with you I to/for to save [obj] you and to/for to rescue [obj] you from hand: power his

I know you fear the king of Babylon, but you don't need to be afraid of him, declares the Lord. I am with you to save you and rescue you from him.

I will be merciful to you, so that he will be merciful to you and will let you stay in your own country.

13 and if to say you(m. p.) not to dwell in/on/with land: country/planet [the] this to/for lest to hear: obey in/on/with voice LORD God your

But if you say, “We won't stay here in this country,” and by doing so disobey what the Lord your God says;

14 to/for to say not for land: country/planet Egypt to come (in): come which not to see: see battle and voice: sound trumpet not to hear: hear and to/for food: bread not be hungry and there to dwell

or if you say instead, “No, we're going to Egypt to live there, where we won't experience war or hear trumpets sounding or go hungry;”

15 and now to/for so to hear: hear word LORD remnant Judah thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel if you(m. p.) to set: put to set: make [emph?] face your to/for to come (in): come Egypt and to come (in): come to/for to sojourn there

then listen to what the Lord says, you survivors from Judah! This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: If you're absolutely determined to go to Egypt and live there,

16 and to be [the] sword which you(m. p.) afraid from her there to overtake [obj] you in/on/with land: country/planet Egypt and [the] famine which you(m. p.) be anxious from him there to cleave after you Egypt and there to die

then the war you're so frightened of will catch up with you there, and the famine you're so terrified of will chase after you into Egypt, and you will die there.

17 and to be all [the] human which to set: make [obj] face their to/for to come (in): come Egypt to/for to sojourn there to die in/on/with sword in/on/with famine and in/on/with pestilence and not to be to/for them survivor and survivor from face: before [the] distress: harm which I to come (in): bring upon them

Everyone who decides to go to Egypt and live there will die by war and famine and disease. Not a single one will survive or escape the disaster I will bring down on them.

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: In the same way that my furious anger was poured out on the people living in Jerusalem, so will my anger be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. People will be horrified at what happens to you, and you will become a curse word, an insult, an expression of condemnation. You won't ever see your homeland again.

19 to speak: speak LORD upon you remnant Judah not to come (in): come Egypt to know to know for to testify in/on/with you [the] day

“The Lord has told you, survivors from Judah, ‘Don't go to Egypt,’” Jeremiah concluded. “Be absolutely clear about this warning I'm giving you today!

20 for (to go astray *QK) in/on/with soul: life your for you(m. p.) to send: depart [obj] me to(wards) LORD God your to/for to say to pray about/through/for us to(wards) LORD God our and like/as all which to say LORD God our so to tell to/for us and to make: do

You've made a big mistake that will cost you your lives by sending me to the Lord your God, asking, ‘Pray to the Lord our God for us, and let us know everything the Lord our God says and we'll do it.’

21 and to tell to/for you [the] day: today and not to hear: obey in/on/with voice LORD God your and to/for all which to send: depart me to(wards) you

I have told you today what he said, but you have not obeyed everything the Lord your God sent me to tell you.

22 and now to know to know for in/on/with sword in/on/with famine and in/on/with pestilence to die in/on/with place which to delight in to/for to come (in): come to/for to sojourn there

So you should know that without question you're going to die by war and famine and disease in Egypt where you want to go and live.”
