King Zedekiah sends Jehucal and Zephaniah the priest to Jeremiah to ask him to pray, and the LORD’s word comes that the Chaldeans will come again and burn this city

시드기야왕이 여후갈과 제사장 스바냐를 예레미야에게 보내어 기도를 청하고, 갈대아인이 다시 와서 이 성을 불사르리라는 여호와의 말씀이 임함

Jeremiah 37:3–10: Zedekiah the king sends 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.” The text says, “Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not put him into prison. Pharaoh’s army had come out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.” Then the LORD’s word comes to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land. The Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city. They will take it and burn it with fire.”’ The LORD says, ‘Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely depart from us;” for they will not depart. For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and only wounded men remained among them, they would each rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.’” The Korean Revised Version has the LORD speak in the first person at 37:7 and 37:9 (이스라엘의 하나님 나 여호와가 이같이 말하노라; 나 여호와가 이같이 말하노라), where WEB reads “The LORD, the God of Israel, says” and “The LORD says”, and reads 37:4 갇히지 아니하였으므로 (since he had not been shut up), naming no one who put him in prison.
