6 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet:
7 Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Thus you must say to the king of Judah who sent you to consult me: Listen! Pharaoh’s army, which has set out to help you, will return to Egypt, its own land.
8 The Chaldeans shall return and attack this city; they shall capture it and destroy it by fire.
9 Thus says the Lord: Do not deceive yourselves, saying: “The Chaldeans are surely leaving us forever.” They are not!
10 Even if you could defeat the whole Chaldean army that is now attacking you, and only the wounded remained, each in his tent, these would rise up and destroy the city with fire.
11 Now when the Chaldean army withdrew from Jerusalem because of the army of Pharaoh,
12 Jeremiah set out from Jerusalem to go to the territory of Benjamin, to receive his share of property among the people.
