I will plant you and not pull you up. 11 Do not be afraid of the big king far away. I am with you. I will save you. ❌➡️✅️ 12 I will be kind to you. He will be kind to you too. You can live here. 13 But if you say, we will not stay here… ❌ 14 If you say, we will go to Egypt to be safe, with no war and no hunger, and we will live there. ❌⚔️❌ 15 Then listen to God: if you go to Egypt and live there… 16 War, no food, and sick will follow you there, and you will die there. ⚔️❌➡️ 17 All who go to Egypt will die by war, no food, and sick. None will live. ♂️ 18 God says: I was very angry before. I will be very angry if you go. People will say bad things about you. You will not see this land again. ️ 19 God says to all who are left, do not go to Egypt. I tell you today. 20 You said, pray for us, and we will do all God says. But you did not mean it in your hearts. ️❌❤️ 21 I told you today what God said, but you did not obey God. ❌ 22 So know this: if you go to that place you want, you will die by war, no food, and sick. ⚔️❌➡️
