Jeremiah 37:5-10
5Meanwhile, 1Pharaoh’sH6547 armyH2428 had setH3318 out from EgyptH4714; and when the ChaldeansH3778 who had been besiegingH6696H5921 JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 the reportH8088 about them, they 2liftedH5927 the siege from JerusalemH3389.
6Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, 7“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘3ThusH3541 you are to sayH559 to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, who sentH7971 you to Me to inquireH1875 of Me: “BeholdH2009, 4Pharaoh’sH6547 armyH2428 which has comeH3318 out for your assistanceH5833 is going to returnH7725 to its own landH776 of EgyptH4714. 8The ChaldeansH3778 will also 5returnH7725 and fightH3898 againstH5921 thisH2088 cityH5892, and they will captureH3920 it and burnH8313 it with fireH784.”’ 9ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘Do not 6deceiveH5378 yourselvesH5315, sayingH559, “The ChaldeansH3778 will surelyH1980 goH1980 away from us,” for they will not goH1980. 10For 7even ifH518 you had defeatedH5221 the entireH3605 armyH2428 of ChaldeansH3778 who were fightingH3898 againstH854 you, and there were only woundedH1856 menH376 leftH7604 among them, eachH376 manH376 in his tentH168, they would riseH6965 up and 8burnH8313 thisH2088 cityH5892 with fireH784.’”
