Jeremiah 37:10

כִּ֣י אִם־הִכִּיתֶ֞ם כָּל־חֵ֤יל כַּשְׂדִּים֙ הַנִּלְחָמִ֣ים אִתְּכֶ֔ם וְנִ֨שְׁאֲרוּ בָ֔ם אֲנָשִׁ֖ים מְדֻקָּרִ֑ים אִ֤ישׁ בְּאָהֳלוֹ֙ יָק֔וּמוּ וְשָֽׂרְפ֛וּ אֶת־הָעִ֥יר הַזֹּ֖את בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
kiy ʾim-hikiytem kal-ḥeyl kashdiym hanilḥamiym ʾitkem vnishʾarv bam ʾanashiym mduqariym ʾiysh bʾaholvo yaqvmv vsharpv ʾet-haʿiyr hazoʾt baʾesh
King James Version (KJV)

For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained {but} wounded men among them, {yet} should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire. {wounded: Heb. thrust through}

Modern English

For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes they would each rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.’”
