^{8 Ref} and the Chaldeans have turned back, and fought against this city, and captured it, and burnt it with fire.

^{9 Ref} `Thus said Jehovah: Lift not up your souls saying, The Chaldeans surely go from off us, for they do not go;

^{10 Ref} for though ye had smitten all the force of the Chaldeans who are fighting with you, and there were left of them wounded men -- each in his tent -- they rise, and have burnt this city with fire.'
