‏ Jeremiah 38:3

3 They had also heard him say, ^{▼▼tn The words “They had also heard him say” are not in the Hebrew text but are in the translation for clarity, to eliminate any confusion possible if no introduction preceded a literal translation: “Thus says the Lord.”} “The Lord says, ‘This city will certainly be handed over to the army of the king of Babylon. They will capture it.’” ^{▼▼sn See Jer 21:10; 32:28; 34:2; 37:8 for this same prophecy. Jeremiah had repeatedly said this or words to the same effect.}
