In this passage, God speaks through Jeremiah to the people of Judah who fled to Egypt to escape the Babylonian conquest. Despite their efforts to find safety, God warns that only a small number will survive and return to Judah. This prophecy highlights the futility of relying on human wisdom and plans when they are contrary to God's will. The people of Judah had chosen to seek refuge in Egypt, disregarding God's instructions. However, God asserts that His word will prevail, and the remnant will witness the fulfillment of His prophecy. This serves as a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty and the importance of obedience to His commands. It encourages believers to place their trust in God's promises, even when faced with challenging situations, knowing that His plans are ultimately for their good. The verse underscores the enduring truth of God's word and His faithfulness in fulfilling His promises, providing hope and assurance to those who trust in Him.
Those who escape the sword and return to the land of Judah from Egypt will be very few. Then the whole remnant of Judah who came to live in Egypt will know whose word will stand—mine or theirs.
