Context — A Warning against Going to Egypt
17So all who resolve to go to Egypt to reside there will die by sword and famine and plague. Not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring upon them.’
18For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Just as My anger and wrath were poured out on the residents of Jerusalem, so will My wrath be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become an object of cursing and horror, of vilification and disgrace, and you will never see this place again.’
19The LORD has told you, O remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’ Know for sure that I have warned you today!
20For you have deceived yourselves by sending me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray to the LORD our God on our behalf, and as for all that the LORD our God says, tell it to us and we will do it.’ 21For I have told you today, but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in all He has sent me to tell you.Cross References

They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade. But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace. For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes, everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.” This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them. Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still. |

He will rise up against the house of the wicked and against the allies of evildoers. But the Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit.

Jeremiah 42:19 Summary
[The Lord is giving a clear command to the remnant of Judah in Jeremiah 42:19, telling them not to go to Egypt, and this command is rooted in His love and desire to protect them, as seen in His promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3. By obeying this command, they would be demonstrating their trust in God's sovereignty and provision, and avoiding the potential consequences of disobedience, such as those warned about in Jeremiah 42:17-18. This verse reminds us that God's commands are for our good, and that obeying Him is an act of faith and trust, as encouraged in Psalm 37:3-7 and Proverbs 3:5-6.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main command given in Jeremiah 42:19?
The main command is to not go to Egypt, as the Lord has warned the remnant of Judah, emphasizing the importance of obedience as seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-2.
Why is it significant that the Lord says 'Know for sure that I have warned you today'?
This phrase emphasizes the certainty and urgency of the warning, leaving no room for doubt or misinterpretation, much like the clear warnings given in Ezekiel 33:7-9.
How does this verse relate to the concept of faith and trust in God?
This verse highlights the importance of trusting in God's guidance and provision, rather than relying on human wisdom or seeking security in foreign lands, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Psalm 37:3-7.
What are the potential consequences of disobeying the Lord's command in this verse?
Disobedience could lead to severe judgment and punishment, as warned in the surrounding verses, such as Jeremiah 42:17-18, and seen in the history of God's dealings with His people, like in Numbers 14:20-23.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I am tempted to seek security or comfort in things other than God, and how can I apply the lesson of Jeremiah 42:19 to those situations?
- In what ways can I demonstrate my trust in God's sovereignty and guidance, even when faced with uncertainty or difficult decisions, as the remnant of Judah was in this verse?
- How can I balance the need for wisdom and discernment with the importance of obeying God's clear commands, as emphasized in Jeremiah 42:19?
- What role does faith and trust play in my relationship with God, and how can I cultivate a deeper sense of reliance on Him, as seen in the examples of Abraham in Genesis 12:1-5 and the apostle Paul in Romans 8:28-30?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 42:19
The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah,.... Or, "unto you" (w); by the mouth of the prophet; or, "against you" (x); that which was contrary to their inclination and will, as
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 42:19
The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 42:19
The good prophet, knowing how much it concerned this people to listen unto him, and to believe and obey what he said, repeats again the same thing which he had said before, assuring them that it was the Lord commanded him to say this to them. Critics note that the word which we translate admonish, in this form, signifieth to admonish before witnesses.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 42:19
Jeremiah 42:19 The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.Ver. 19. Go ye not into Egypt.] Be ruled, or you will rue it when you have learned their evil manners, and shall perish in their punishments. It is better for you to be in cold irons at Babylon than to serve idols in Egypt at never so much liberty. Your fathers brought a golden calf thence; Jeroboam brought two.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 42:19
Verse 19. Go ye not into Egypt] Why? Because God knew, such was their miserable propensity to idolatry, that they would there adopt the worship of the country, and serve idols.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 42:19
19. This connects well with Jeremiah 42:14, assuming (see introd. note) that Jeremiah 42:15-18 are by a supplementer.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 42:19
The request made in Jeremiah 42:3 has been fulfilled: Yahweh has spoken. The prophet now adds these four verses as a sort of epilogue, in which he urges upon them the several points of the divine message.
