What does Jeremiah 42:17 mean?

'This is what the Lord says: My anger will pour out on you in Egypt, just like it did in Jerusalem. You'll become a warning to others—cursed, hated, and mocked. You'll never see this land again.' Jeremiah 42:17 - Modern Text Bible

(God says that running to Egypt will bring judgment and shame, and they'll lose their homeland forever.)
