6 Then the word of the Lord came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying:
7 Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Thus you shall say to the king of Judah who sent you to Me to inquire of Me: Pharaoh’s army which has come out to help you shall return to Egypt, to its own land.
8 The Chaldeans will come again and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
9 Thus says the Lord: Do not deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely depart from us,” for they will not depart.
10 For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you and there remained but wounded men among them, yet every man would rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.
11 Now when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem at the approach of Pharaoh’s army,
12 Jeremiah set out from Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin to take possession of his property there among the people.
