Contextual Overview
7 And it happened at the end of ten days, the Word of Jehovah was to Jeremiah. 8 And he called Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the army heads with him, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest. 9 And he said to them, So says Jehovah, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before Him. 10 If you will still remain in this land, then I will build you up, and will not tear you down. And I will plant you, and will not pluck you up. For I repent as to the evil that I have done to you. 11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Do not be afraid of his face, declares Jehovah, for I am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand. 12 And I will show mercies to you, so that he may have pity on you, and cause you to return to your own land. 13 But if you say, We will not live in this land or obey the voice of Jehovah your God, 14 saying, No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war or hear the sound of the ram's horn, and we will not hunger for bread, and there we will live; 15 then hear now the Word of Jehovah, O remnant of Judah, So says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: If you surely set your faces to go into Egypt, and go to live there, 16 then it shall be, the sword which you feared shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt. And the famine which you were anxious about shall cling to you there in Egypt, and you shall die there.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Go: God knew, that such was their miserable propensity to idolatry, that they would adopt the idolatrous worship of Egypt. Add to which, their going thither for protection was in effect refusing to submit to the king of Babylon, to whom God had decreed the rule of Judah and the neighbouring kingdoms.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah,.... Or, "unto you" w; by the mouth of the prophet; or, "against you" x; that which was contrary to their inclination and will, as follows:
go ye not into Egypt: this was the express command of God:
know certainly that I have admonished you this day; not to go into Egypt: or, "have testified unto you" y; the will of God concerning this matter; and therefore they could not plead ignorance.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The request made in Jeremiah 42:3 has been fulfilled: Yahweh has spoken. The prophet now adds these four verses as a sort of epilogue, in which he urges upon them the several points of the divine message. In the ten days which had intervened between the request and the answer Jeremiah had become aware that neither princes nor people were prepared to obey unless the answer was in accordance with their own wishes. He does therefore his best to convince them, but as usual it was his lot to speak the truth to willful men, and gain no hearing.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 42:19. Go ye not into Egypt — Why? Because God knew, such was their miserable propensity to idolatry, that they would there adopt the worship of the country, and serve idols.
