6 Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 7 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘(A)Thus you are to say to the king of Judah, who sent you to Me to inquire of Me: “Behold, (B)the military force of Pharaoh which has come out for your assistance is going to return to its own land of Egypt. 8 The Chaldeans will also (C)return and fight against this city, and they will capture it and burn it with fire.”’ 9 Thus says Yahweh, ‘Do not (D)deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely go away from us,” for they will not go. 10 For (E)even if you had struck down the entire military force of the Chaldeans who were fighting against you, and there were only wounded men remaining among them, each man in his tent, they would rise up and (F)burn this city with fire.’”

Jeremiah 37:6-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet: 7 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: This is what you will say to Judah’s king,(A) who is sending you to inquire of Me: Watch: Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you,(B) is going to return to its own land of Egypt. 8 The Chaldeans will then return and fight against this city. They will capture it and burn it down.(C) 9 This is what the Lord says: Don’t deceive yourselves by saying, ‘The Chaldeans will leave us for good,’ for they will not leave. 10 Indeed, if you were to strike down the entire Chaldean army that is fighting with you,(D) and there remained among them only the badly wounded[a] men, each in his tent, they would get up and burn this city down.”
