Jeremiah 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 ) .

Jeremiah 37:8 In-Context

6 Then this word of ADONAI came to the prophet Yirmeyahu:

7 "ADONAI the God of Isra'el says to tell the king of Y'hudah, who sent you to me to consult me: 'Pharaoh's army has marched out to assist you; but they will return to Egypt, to their own country.

8 The Kasdim will return, attack this city, capture it and burn it to the ground.'

9 Here is what ADONAI says: 'Don't deceive yourselves by thinking that the Kasdim must withdraw from you, because they will not withdraw.

10 Even if you were to strike the entire army of the Kasdim fighting against you, to the degree that only their wounded were left, they would still rise up every man from his tent and burn this city to the ground.'"
