Jeremiah 37:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 37:8

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, ^awho sent you to Me to inquire of Me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army which has come up to help you will return to Egypt, to their own land.

8 ^aAnd the Chaldeans shall come back 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 ^aFor though you had defeated the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained only wounded men among them, they would rise up, every man in his tent, and burn the city with fire.’ ”

11 And it happened, when the army of the Chaldeans left the siege of Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,

12 that Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin to claim his property there among the people.
