And
king Zedekiah the
son of
Josiah reigned instead of
Coniah the
son of
Jehoiakim, whom
Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon made
king in the
land of
Judah.

But neither he, nor his
servants, nor the
people of the
land, did
hearken unto the
words of the
LORD, which he
spake by the
prophet Jeremiah.

And
Zedekiah the
king sent Jehucal the
son of
Shelemiah and
Zephaniah the
son of
Maaseiah the
priest to the
prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Pray now unto the
LORD our
God for us.

Now
Jeremiah came
in and went
out among the
people: for they had not
put him into
prison*.

Then
Pharaoh's army was come
forth out of
Egypt: and when the
Chaldeans that
besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they
departed from
Jerusalem.

Then came the
word of the
LORD unto the

Thus
saith the
LORD, the
God of
Israel; Thus shall ye
say to the
king of
Judah, that
sent you unto me to
enquire of me; Behold,
Pharaoh's army, which is come
forth to
help you, shall
return to
Egypt into their own
land.

And the
Chaldeans shall come
again, and
fight against this
city, and
take it, and
burn it with
fire.

Thus
saith the
LORD; Deceive not
yourselves, saying, The
Chaldeans shall
surely depart from us: for they shall not
depart.

For though ye had
smitten the whole
army of the
Chaldeans that
fight against you, and there
remained but
wounded men among them, yet should they rise
up every
man in his
tent, and
burn this
city with
fire.
