KJV ORIGINAL
So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
None of the people from Judah who fled to Egypt thinking they'd be safe there will make it back home. Even though they're desperately wanting to return to their homeland, they won't escape Egypt to go back — except for maybe a few survivors who somehow get away.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Running from God's plan to what feels safer usually traps you further from where you actually want to be.
