Contextual Overview
7 And it came to pass at the end of ten days, that the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah. 8 Then called he for Johanan son of Kareah, and for all the princes of the forces who were with him - and for all the people from the least even unto the greatest; 9 and said unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel - unto whom ye sent me, to cause your supplication to fall prostrate before him: - 10 If ye will indeed abide, in this land, then will I build you up, and not pull you down, and plant you and not uproot you , - for I have compassion as touching the calamity which I have caused you. 11 Do not fear the face of the king of Babylon, of whose face ye are afraid, - do not fear him, Urgeth Yahweh, for with you, am I, to save you, and to deliver you out of his hand: 12 that I may grant you compassions and he may have compassion upon you, - and suffer you to return unto your own soil. 13 But, since ye are saying, - We will not dwell in this land, - nor hearken unto the voice of Yahweh your God: 14 saying, - No! for, into the land of Egypt, will we go, where we shall not see war, nor the sound of a horn, shall we hear, - nor for bread, shall we be famished, - there, then will we dwell 15 Now, therefore, for this cause, hear ye the word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah, - Thus! saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, - If, ye do indeed set your faces to enter Egypt and do enter to sojourn there, 16 then shall it come to pass that the sword which ye are fearing shall, there, overtake you, in the land of Egypt, - and the famine which ye are dreading, shall, there, lay fast hold of you, in Egypt, and, there, shall ye die.

If: If ye are determined to go into Egypt, the evils which ye dreaded by staying in your own land shall overtake and destroy you there; "and there shall ye die." God turned the policy of the wicked to their own destruction; for while they thought themselves safe in Egypt, there Nebuchadnezzar destroyed both them and the Egyptians.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah,.... A small remnant indeed, a few that were left in the land; who ought therefore to have admired the distinguishing goodness of Providence in preserving them in it; where they should have continued and made use of their privilege, to the glory of God and their mutual good:
thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; the Lord of armies above and below, the Lord God omnipotent, and so able to protect them in their land; and who had a peculiar favour to Israel, and stood in a particular relation to them, and therefore would do it, of which they had no reason to doubt; but, disobliging him, what judgments might they not expect?
if you wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt: are resolved upon it, and are actually engaged in it; turning their faces from Judea towards Egypt, and obstinately pursuing it, nor can be reclaimed from it: the phrase expresses their resolution, impudence, and obstinacy:
and go to sojourn there: to be sojourners and strangers there, as their fathers had been before; the remembrance of which was enough to set them against going into Egypt any more.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 42:15. If ye - set your faces to enter into Egypt, &c. — Every evil that ye dreaded by staying in your own land shall come upon you in Egypt.
