Jeremiah 37:5-10

Rotherham(i) 5 And, the force of Pharaoh, had come forth out of Egypt,––and, when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard the tidings of them, they went up from Jerusalem. 6 Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying: 7 Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Thus, shall ye say unto the king of Judah, who sent you unto me to enquire of me,––Lo! the force of Pharaoh, which is coming out to you to help, is about to return to its own land, to Egypt; 8 Then will the Chaldeans come back, and fight against this city,––and capture it, and burn it with fire. 9 Thus, saith Yahweh,––Let not your own souls deceive you, saying, The Chaldeans will, surely depart, from us! For they will not depart; 10 For, though ye had smitten all the force of the Chaldeans who are fighting with you, and there had remained of them only desperately wounded, men, yet, every man in his tent, should have arisen and burnt this city, with fire.
