Contextual Overview
7 Ten days later the Lord spoke to me; 8 so I called together Johanan, all the army leaders who were with him, and all the other people. 9 I said to them, "The Lord , the God of Israel, to whom you sent me with your request has said, 10 ‘If you are willing to go on living in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not pull you up. The destruction I brought on you has caused me great sorrow. 11 Stop being afraid of the king of Babylonia. I am with you, and I will rescue you from his power. 12 Because I am merciful, I will make him have mercy on you and let you go back home. I, the Lord , have spoken.' 13"But you people who are left in Judah must not disobey the Lord your God and refuse to live in this land. You must not say, ‘No, we will go and live in Egypt, where we won't face war any more or hear the call to battle or go hungry.' If you say this, then the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says, ‘If you are determined to go and live in Egypt, 16 then the war that you fear will overtake you, and the hunger you dread will follow you, and you will die there in Egypt. 17 All the people who are determined to go and live in Egypt will die either in war or of starvation or disease. Not one of them will survive, not one will escape the disaster that I am going to bring on them.' 18 "The Lord , the God of Israel, says, ‘Just as my anger and fury were poured out on the people of Jerusalem, so my fury will be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. You will be a horrifying sight; people will make fun of you and use your name as a curse. You will never see this place again.'"
Bible Verse Review

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.
w עליכם "alloquitur vos", Junius Tremellius "ad vos", so some in Vatablus. x "Contra vos", Calvin. y העידתי בכם "contestatus sum vos", Montanus, Piscator, Cocceius.
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.
