When they were weak or in trouble, the people of Israel were often tempted to go back to Egypt, which typifies the world, and take Egypt as their refuge, against Jehovah’s will (Jer. 42:14—43:7; Isa. 30:1-3; 31:1-3). The fact that Egypt did not help Judah when Judah was besieged by the Chaldeans (Jer. 37:5-8) is a sign that God’s people should not trust in the world.
