Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 42:22

22 Now therefore know certainly, that ye shall dye by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go, and to sojourn .

The Prophet ascertaineth that doom unto them, which ver. 14, 15, 16. he had threatned them with, in case they were resolved to go into Egypt, we must expect nothing but utmost disappointments upon actions done in disobedience to the revealed will of God: you think to avoid death by going thither for a little time to sojourn, but you shall dy there, and that by those very deaths which by going thither you seek to avoid.

Marginal references: Or, to go to sojourn.
