Jeremiah:37:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 prophet Jeremiah ,
saying ,
*
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 .
