Jeremiah 37:1-8

1Now 1ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 whomH834 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had 2madeH4427 kingH4427 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, reignedH4427 as kingH4428 inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 3ConiahH3078 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079. 2But 4neitherH3808 he norH3808 his servantsH5650 norH3808 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 listenedH8085 to the wordsH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 He spokeH1696 throughH3027 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030.

3Yet 5KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 sentH7971 JehucalH3081 the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, and 6the priestH3548 ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, “7PleaseH4994 prayH6419 to the LordH3068 our GodH430 in our behalfH1157.” 4Now JeremiahH3414 was still comingH935 and goingH3318 amongH8432 the peopleH5971, for they had not yet 8putH5414 him in prisonH1004H3628. 5Meanwhile, 9Pharaoh’sH6547 armyH2428 had setH3318 out from EgyptH4714; and when the ChaldeansH3778 who had been besiegingH6696H5921 JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 the reportH8088 about them, they 10withdrewH5927 from JerusalemH3389.

6Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, 7“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: ‘11ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you are to sayH559 to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, who sentH7971 you to Me to inquireH1875 of Me: “BeholdH2009, 12Pharaoh’sH6547 armyH2428, which has comeH3318 outH3318 to helpH5833 you, is going to returnH7725 to its own landH776 of EgyptH4714. 8Then the ChaldeansH3778 will 13returnH7725 and fightH3898 againstH5921 thisH2088 cityH5892, and they will captureH3920 it and burnH8313 it with fireH784.”’
