Jeremiah

Jeremiah 37:5–8

⁵Pharaoh’s army had left Egypt, and when the Chaldeans^c who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report, they withdrew from Jerusalem.

⁶Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet: ⁷“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says that you are to tell the king of Judah, who sent you to Me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has marched out to help you, will go back to its own land of Egypt. ⁸Then the Chaldeans will return and fight against this city. They will capture it and burn it down.
