Jeremiah 37:3–10

³And Zedekiah the king sent ^eJehucal the son of ^efShelemiah and ^gZephaniah the son of ^hMaaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the Lord our God for us. ⁴Now Jeremiah ⁱcame in and went out among the people: ^kfor they had not put him into prison. ⁵Then ^lPharaoh’s army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, ^mthey departed from Jerusalem.

⁶Then came the word of the Lord unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying, ⁷Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, ⁿthat sent you unto me to inquire of me; Behold, ^oPharaoh’s army, which is come forth to help you, ^oshall return to Egypt into their own land. ⁸And ^pthe Chaldeans shall come again, and ^pfight against this city, and ^ptake it, and ^prburn it with fire. ⁹Thus saith the Lord; Deceive not your selves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart. ^10qFor though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and ^rburn this city with fire.
