6 Then the Lord’s word came to Jeremiah the prophet:
7 The Lord, the God of Israel, proclaims: Tell the king of Judah who sent his emissaries to seek advice from me: "Pharaoh’s army that came to assist you is heading back to Egypt.
8 The Babylonians will return and attack this city. They will capture it and burn it down."
9 The Lord proclaims: Don’t let yourself be deceived into thinking that the Babylonians will withdraw for good. They won’t!
10 Even if you were to crush the entire Babylonian army that’s attacking you and only the wounded in their tents remained, they would rise up and burn this city down.
11 Now when the Babylonian army had withdrawn from Jerusalem due to Pharaoh’s advance,
12 Jeremiah set out for the land of Benjamin to secure his share of the family property.
