Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet
on Jeremiah 37:6-10
Pharaoh’s army “will go back to its own land of Egypt,” and the Chaldeans will return, capture the city, and burn it. The LORD names the city’s hope as self-deception: “Do not deceive yourselves.” In verse 10, even “wounded men” left in their tents would rise and burn the city.
