Jeremiah 37:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Then the armies of Babylon will come back here. They will attack this city. They will capture it. Then they will burn it down.’

⁹ “The Lord says, ‘Do not fool yourselves. You think, “The Babylonians will leave us alone.” But they will not! ¹⁰ Suppose you destroy all the armies of Babylon that are attacking you. Suppose only wounded men are left in their tents. Even then they will come out and burn down this city.’ ”
