*
Now King Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim ,
whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah .
*
But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land gave heed to the words of the LORD which He spoke 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 to the LORD our God for us ."
*
Now Jeremiah was coming and going among the people ,
for they had not yet put him in prison .
*
Then Pharaoh '
s army came up from Egypt ;
and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them ,
they departed from Jerusalem .
*
Then the word of the LORD came to the prophet Jeremiah ,
saying ,
* "
Thus says the LORD ,
the God of Israel , "
Thus you shall say to the king of Judah ,
who 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 .
*
And the Chaldeans shall come back and fight against this city ,
and take it and burn it with fire ."'
