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.

The verse 12 is found in chapter 44 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah confronts the Jews settled in Egypt for continuing to burn incense to the queen of heaven. The prophet interprets Jerusalem’s destruction as the consequence of that idolatry, not as Yahweh’s inability. The community, however, claims that its former prosperity was connected to idolatrous worship and rejects the warning.

Und ich will die übrigen aus Juda nehmen, so ihr Angesicht gerichtet haben, nach Ägyptenland zu ziehen, daß sie daselbst herbergen; es soll ein Ende mit ihnen allen werden in Ägyptenland. Durchs Schwert sollen sie fallen, und durch Hunger umkommen, beide, klein und groß; sie sollen durch Schwert und Hunger sterben und sollen ein Schwur, Wunder, Fluch und Schmach werden.
Y tomaré el resto de Judá que pusieron sus rostros para entrar en tierra de Egipto para morar allí, y en tierra de Egipto serán todos consumidos, caerán a cuchillo, serán consumidos de hambre, a cuchillo y hambre morirán desde el más pequeño hasta el mayor; y serán por juramento, y por espanto, y por maldición, y por oprobio.
Je prendrai les restes de Juda qui ont tourné le visage pour aller au pays d'Egypte, afin d'y demeurer; ils seront tous consumés, ils tomberont dans le pays d'Egypte; ils seront consumés par l'épée, par la famine, depuis le plus petit jusqu'au plus grand; ils périront par l'épée et par la famine; et ils seront un sujet d'exécration, d'épouvante, de malédiction et d'opprobre.
Ed io torrò via quelli che son rimasti di Giuda, i quali han volta la faccia per entrar nel paese di Egitto, per dimorarvi; e saran tutti consumati; caderanno nel paese di Egitto: saran consumati per la spada, e per la fame, dal minore al maggiore; morranno per la spada, e per la fame; e saranno in esecrazione, in istupore, e in maledizione, e in vituperio.
E tomarei os que restam de Judá, os quais puseram os seus rostos para entrarem na terra do Egito, para lá habitar e todos eles serão consumidos na terra do Egito; cairão à espada, e de fome morrerão; consumir-se-ão, desde o menor até ao maior; à espada e de fome morrerão; e servirão de execração, e de espanto, e de maldição, e de opróbrio.
我必使那定意進入 埃及 地、在那裏寄居的,就是倖存的 猶大 人,盡都滅絕。他們必在 埃及 地仆倒,因刀劍饑荒滅絕,從最小的到最大的都必遭刀劍饑荒而死,甚至受辱罵、驚駭、詛咒、羞辱。
