2and saidH559 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, “PleaseH4994 let our 1petitionH8467 2comeH5307 beforeH6440 you, and 3prayH6419 for us to the LordH3068 your GodH430, that is for allH3605 thisH2088 remnantH7611; becauseH3588 we are leftH7604 but a 4fewH4592 out of manyH7235, as your own eyesH5869 now seeH7200 us,
3that the LordH3068 your GodH430 may tellH5046 us the 5wayH1870 in whichH834 we should walkH1980 and the thingH1697 that we should doH6213.”
4Then JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 saidH559 to them, “I have heardH8085 you. BeholdH2009, I am going to 6prayH6419 to the LordH3068 your GodH430 in accordance with your wordsH1697; and I will tellH5046 you the wholeH3605 7messageH1697 whichH834 the 8LordH3068 will answerH6030 you. I will 9not keepH4513 backH4513 a wordH1697 from you.”
5Then they saidH559 to JeremiahH3414, “May the 10LordH3068 be a trueH571 and faithfulH539 witnessH5707 against us ifH518 we do not actH6213 in accordance with the wholeH3605 11messageH1697 with whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 will sendH7971 you to us.
