Jeremiah 37:4-7
Contemporary English Version
3-5 Later, the Babylonian army attacked Jerusalem, but they left after learning that the Egyptian army[a] was headed in this direction.

6-7 Then the Lord told me to send them back to Zedekiah with this message:
Zedekiah, you wanted Jeremiah to ask me, the Lord God of Israel, what is going to happen. So I will tell you. The king of Egypt and his army came to your rescue, but soon they will go back to Egypt.
