Jeremiah 37:6-8, 11-16. The Lord had already spoken through Jeremiah about the land being seized by the Babylonians but the people did not believe it until they saw Babylonian armies roaming through the land and so, where the Egyptian army went through the land but they were there to help the Israelites. When we have a spoken message of the Lord we must act on it meaning the Israelites had time to seek the Lord and turn from their ways before the Babylonians captured it.
