Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.

The verse 22 is found in chapter 42 of Jeremiah. The survivors ask Jeremiah to consult Yahweh and promise to obey whatever answer is given. After ten days, God commands them to remain in the land and not fear Babylon, but warns that Egypt will not be a safe refuge. The tragedy is that the people ask for a word while already considering disobedience to it.

So sollt ihr nun wissen, daß ihr durch Schwert, Hunger und Pestilenz sterben müßt an dem Ort, dahin ihr gedenkt zu ziehen, daß ihr daselbst wohnen wollt.
Ahora pues sabed de cierto que a cuchillo, y de hambre y pestilencia, moriréis en el lugar donde deseasteis entrar para peregrinar allí.
Sepan ahora con certeza que morirán por la espada, el hambre y la peste en el lugar adonde desean ir a residir».
Sachez maintenant que vous mourrez par l'épée, par la famine ou par la peste, dans le lieu où vous voulez aller pour y demeurer.
Ora dunque, sappiate pure, che voi morrete di spada, di fame, e di pestilenza, nel luogo dove vi piace di entrare, per dimorarvi
Agora, pois, sabei por certo que morrereis à espada, de fome e de peste no mesmo lugar onde desejais ir, para lá morardes.
現在你們要確實知道,你們在所要去的寄居之地必遭刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫而死。」
