Jeremiah 37:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ “The Lord says, ‘Do not fool yourselves. You think, “The Babylonians will leave us alone.” But they will not! ¹⁰ Suppose you destroy all the armies of Babylon that are attacking you. Suppose only wounded men are left in their tents. Even then they will come out and burn down this city.’ ”

¹¹ The armies of Babylon had pulled back from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh’s army.
