Contextual Overview
1 And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah. 2 But neither he, nor his slaves, nor the people of the land, listened to the words of Yahweh, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah. 3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to Yahweh our God for us. 4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison. 5 And Pharaoh's army came forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans that were besieging Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they broke up from Jerusalem. 6 Then the word of Yahweh came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 7 This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, Thus you shall say to the king of Judah, that sent you to me to inquire of me: Look, Pharaoh's army, which has come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land. 8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire. 9 Thus says Yahweh, Do not deceive yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart. 10 For though you had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Chaldeans shall come again,.... To Jerusalem, after they have defeated or drove back the Egyptian army:
and fight against this city; with fresh rigour and resolution; being exasperated by the methods taken to oblige them to raise the siege:
and take it, and burn it with fire; as they did, Jeremiah 39:8.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jeremiah’s answer here is even more unfavorable than that which is given in Jeremiah 21:4-7. So hopeless is resistance that the disabled men among the Chaldaeans would alone suffice to capture the city and burn it to the ground.
