Jeremiah 37:11 CPDV

⁹  But even if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans who are fighting against you, and if there were left behind from among them only a few wounded men, they would rise up, each one from his tent, and they would burn this city with fire.'

¹⁰  Therefore, when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh's army,

¹¹  Jeremiah went forth from Jerusalem, to go into the land of Benjamin, and to distribute a possession there, in the sight of the citizens.

¹²  And when he had arrived at the gate of Benjamin, the keeper of the gate, whose turn it was to be there, was named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah. And he apprehended Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 'You are fleeing to the Chaldeans.'

¹³  And Jeremiah responded: 'That is false. I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans.' But he did not listen to him. And so Irijah took Jeremiah, and he brought him to the leaders.
