Jeremiah 37:6-8

Contemporary English Version

^6-7 Then the Lord told me to send them back to Zedekiah with this message:

Zedekiah, you wanted Jeremiah to ask me, the Lord God of Israel, what is going to happen. So I will tell you. The king of Egypt and his army came to your rescue, but soon they will go back to Egypt. ⁸ Then the Babylonians will return and attack Jerusalem, and this time they will capture the city and set it on fire.
