Jeremiah 44:29-30

Judah in Egypt: Stubborn Idolatry and the Last Warning

The chapter moves from the LORD's historical indictment of Judah's idolatry, to warning against repeating that rebellion in Egypt, to the people's open vow to continue worshiping the Queen of Heaven, to Jeremiah's correction of their false history, and finally to the LORD's sworn judgment and confirming sign against Pharaoh Hophra.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

29This will be a sign to you that I will punish you in this place, declares the LORD, so that you may know that My threats of harm against you will surely stand.

30This is what the LORD says: Behold, I will deliver Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hands of his enemies who seek his life, just as I delivered Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the enemy who was seeking his life.”
