Context of Jeremiah 37:6

4Jeremiah was a free man at this time. They had not yet put him in prison. He could go where he wanted among the people. 5The army of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had marched out of Egypt. Babylon's soldiers who were attacking Jerusalem heard news about that. So they went away from Jerusalem. Then the Lord gave this message to the prophet Jeremiah: 7‘The Lord, Israel's God, says: Go to the king of Judah, who sent you to ask for my help. Tell him, “Pharaoh's army marched out of Egypt to bring you help. But they will turn back and return to their own land, Egypt. 8Then Babylon's army will return here. They will attack this city. They will take it for themselves. They will burn it completely.”
