The verse 13 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.

Ich will auch die Einwohner in Ägyptenland mit Schwert, Hunger und Pestilenz heimsuchen, gleichwie ich zu Jerusalem getan habe,
Pues visitaré a los que moran en tierra de Egipto, como visité a Jerusalem, con cuchillo, y con hambre, y con pestilencia.
Castigaré a los que viven en la tierra de Egipto como castigué a Jerusalén: con la espada, el hambre y la peste.
Je châtierai ceux qui demeurent au pays d'Egypte, comme j'ai châtié Jérusalem, par l'épée, par la famine et par la peste.
Ed io farò punizione di quelli che abitano nel paese di Egitto, siccome ho fatta punizione di Gerusalemme, per la spada, per la fame, e per la pestilenza.
Porque castigarei os que habitam na terra do Egito, como castiguei Jerusalém, com a espada, com a fome e com a peste.
我怎樣用刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫懲罰 耶路撒冷 ,也必照樣懲罰那些住在 埃及 地的 猶大 人。
