Jeremiah 37:9

Jeremiah Warns Zedekiah

8Then the Chaldeans will return and fight against this city. They will capture it and burn it down.9This is what the LORD says: Do not deceive yourselves by saying, ‘The Chaldeans will go away for good,’ for they will not!10Indeed, if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans that is fighting against you, and only wounded men remained in their tents, they would still get up and burn this city down.”
