Jeremiah 37:5-8

5Meanwhile, 1Pharaoh’s army had set out from Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who had been besieging Jerusalem heard the report about them, they 2lifted the siege from Jerusalem.

6Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 7“Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘3Thus you are to say to the king of Judah, who sent you to Me to inquire of Me: “Behold, 4Pharaoh’s army which has come out for your assistance is going to return to its own land of Egypt. 8The Chaldeans will also 5return and fight against this city, and they will capture it and burn it with fire.”’
