Jeremiah 37:5-9

New International Version

⁵ Pharaoh’s army had marched out of Egypt,^(A) and when the Babylonians^[a] who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report about them, they withdrew^(B) from Jerusalem.^(C)

⁶ Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet: ⁷ “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire^(D) of me, ‘Pharaoh’s army, which has marched^(E) out to support you, will go back to its own land, to Egypt.^{(F) 8} Then the Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will capture^(G) it and burn^(H) it down.’

⁹ “This is what the Lord says: Do not deceive^(I) yourselves, thinking, ‘The Babylonians will surely leave us.’ They will not!
