Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.

The verse 30 is found in chapter 44 of Jeremiah. The people’s response reveals a complete reversal of prophetic authority: they say they will continue worshiping the queen of heaven. Jeremiah then announces that the small remnant will suffer and that the sign involving Pharaoh Hophra will confirm the judgment. The scene shows how far a community can reinterpret its own history to justify disobedience.

so spricht der HERR also: Siehe, ich will Pharao Hophra, den König in Ägypten, übergeben in die Hände seiner Feinde und derer, die ihm nach dem Leben stehen, gleichwie ich Zedekia, den König Juda's, übergeben habe in die Hand Nebukadnezars, des Königs zu Babel, seines Feindes, und der ihm nach seinem Leben stand.
Así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí que yo entrego a Farón Hophra rey de Egipto en mano de sus enemigos, y en mano de los que buscan su alma, como entregué a Sedechîas rey de Judá en mano de Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, su enemigo, y que buscaba su alma.
Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Voici, je livrerai Pharaon Hophra, roi d'Egypte, entre les mains de ses ennemis, entre les mains de ceux qui en veulent à sa vie, comme j'ai livré Sédécias, roi de Juda, entre les mains de Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, son ennemi, qui en voulait à sa vie.
Così ha detto il Signore: Ecco, io do Faraone Ofra, re di Egitto, in man de’ suoi nemici, e in man di quelli che cercano l’anima sua; siccome ho dato Sedechia, re di Giuda, in man di Nebucadnesar, re di Babilonia, suo nemico, e che cercava l’anima sua
Assim diz o SENHOR: Eis que eu darei Faraó-Hofra, rei do Egito, na mão de seus inimigos, e na mão dos que procuram a sua morte; como entreguei Zedequias, rei de Judá, na mão de Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, seu inimigo, e que procurava a sua morte.
耶和華如此說:看哪,我必將 埃及 王 合弗拉 法老交在他仇敵和尋索其命的人手中,像我將 猶大 王 西底家 交在他仇敵和尋索其命的 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 手中一樣。」
