Portions: Jeremiah 44 - 48

"Why provoke Me to anger
with what your hands have made,
burning incense to other gods in Egypt,
where you have come to live?
You will destroy yourselves
and make yourselves an object of cursing and reproach
among all the nations on earth."
(Jeremiah 44:8)

(To Baruch, scribe to Jeremiah:)
"Should you then seek great things for yourself?
Seek them not.
For I will bring disaster on all people,
declares the Lord,
but wherever you go
I will let you escape with your life."
(Jeremiah 45:5)

The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:
"I am about to bring punishment on Amon god of Thebes,
on Pharaoh, on Egypt and her gods and her kings,
and on those who rely on Pharaoh.
(Jeremiah 46:25)

This is the word of the Lord
that came to Jeremiah the prophet
concerning the Philistines
before Pharaoh attached Gaza . . .
(Jeremiah 47:1)

"Whoever flees from the terror
will fall into the pit,
whoever climbs out of the pit
will be caught in a snare;
for I will bring upon Moab
the year of her punishment,"
declares the Lord.
(Jeremiah 48:44)
