Albert Barnes Commentary Jeremiah 42:16-17

"then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, whereof ye are afraid, shall follow hard after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die. So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there: they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them." — Jeremiah 42:16-17 (ASV)

Translate it: “Then shall the sword of which you are afraid reach you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which you pine shall cleave close to you in Egypt, and there you shall die; and all the men who have set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there shall die ... by the pestilence, nor shall they have anyone who is left or escaped from the evil which I will bring upon them.”
