Jeremiah 37:3-8

3Yet 1KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 sentH7971 JehucalH3081 the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, and 2ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, the priestH3548, to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, “3PleaseH4994 prayH6419 to the LordH3068 our GodH430 on our behalfH1157.” 4Now JeremiahH3414 was still comingH935 in and goingH3318 out amongH8432 the peopleH5971, for they had not yet 4putH5414 him in the prisonH1004H3628. 5Meanwhile, 5Pharaoh’sH6547 armyH2428 had setH3318 out from EgyptH4714; and when the ChaldeansH3778 who had been besiegingH6696H5921 JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 the reportH8088 about them, they 6liftedH5927 the siege from JerusalemH3389.

6Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, 7“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘7ThusH3541 you are to sayH559 to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, who sentH7971 you to Me to inquireH1875 of Me: “BeholdH2009, 8Pharaoh’sH6547 armyH2428 which has comeH3318 out for your assistanceH5833 is going to returnH7725 to its own landH776 of EgyptH4714. 8The ChaldeansH3778 will also 9returnH7725 and fightH3898 againstH5921 thisH2088 cityH5892, and they will captureH3920 it and burnH8313 it with fireH784.”’
