Jeremiah 42:2-10

2came near and saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, Let, we beseech thee, our supplicationH8467 come before thee, and prayH6419 for us unto Jehovah thy 1GodH430, for all this remnantH7611 (for we are leftH7604 a fewH4592 of manyH7235, as thine eyesH5869 do behold us);

3that Jehovah thy 2GodH430 may shew us the wayH1870 wherein we should walk, and the thingH1697 that we should do.

4And JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 saidH559 unto them, I have heardH8085; behold, I will prayH6419 unto Jehovah your 3GodH430 according to your wordsH1697; and it shall come to pass [that] whatsoever thingH1697 Jehovah shall answerH6030 you, I will declareH5046 it unto you: I will keep nothing back from you.

5And they saidH559 to JeremiahH3414, Jehovah beH1961 a true and faithfulH539 witnessH5707 amongst us, if we do not even according to all the wordH1697 for which Jehovah thy 4GodH430 shall sendH7971 thee to us.

6Whether it be goodH2896 or whether it be evilH7451, we will hearken unto the voiceH6963 of Jehovah our 5GodH430, to whom we sendH7971 thee; that it may be wellH3190 with us when we hearken unto the voiceH6963 of Jehovah our 6GodH430.

7And it came to pass at the endH7093 of tenH6235 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto JeremiahH3414.

8And he calledH7121 JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, and all the peopleH5971 from the least even unto the greatestH1419,

9and saidH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah the 7GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to whom ye sentH7971 me to present your supplicationH8467 before him:

10If ye will still abide in this landH776, then will I buildH1129 you, and not overthrow [you], and I will plantH5193 you, and not pluckH5428 [you] up; for I repent me of the evilH7451 that I have done unto you.
