Jeremias 37:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 37:8

And the Chaldeans shall come again
To Jerusalem, after they have defeated or drove back the Egyptian army: and fight against this city;
with fresh rigour and resolution; being exasperated by the methods taken to oblige them to raise the siege: and take it, and burn it with fire;
as they did, ( Jeremiah 39:8 ) .

Jeremias 37:8 In-Context

6 Enquire, and see if a male has born a child? and concerning the fear, wherein they shall hold their loins, and safety: for I have seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; faces are turned to paleness.
7 For that day is great, and there is not such ; and it is a time of straitness to Jacob; but he shall be saved out of it.
8 In that day, said the Lord, I will break the yoke off their neck, and will burst their bonds, and they shall no longer serve strangers:
9 but they shall serve the Lord their God; and I will raise up to them David their king.
