Jeremiah 42:2-10
2And saidH559 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, We beseech thee, let our supplicationH8467 be acceptedH5307 beforeH6440 thee, and prayH6419 for us to the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, even for all this remnantH7611; (for we are leftH7604 but a fewH4592 of manyH7235, as thy eyesH5869 do beholdH7200 us:)1 3That the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 may showH5046 us the wayH1870 in which we may walkH3212, and the thingH1697 that we may doH6213. 4Then JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 saidH559 to them, I have heardH8085 you ; behold, I will prayH6419 to the LORDH3068 your GodH430 according to your wordsH1697; and it shall come to pass, that whatever thingH1697 the LORDH3068 shall answerH6030 you, I will declareH5046 it to you; I will keepH4513 nothingH1697 backH4513 from you. 5Then they saidH559 to JeremiahH3414, The LORDH3068 be a trueH571 and faithfulH539 witnessH5707 between us, if we doH6213 not even according to all thingsH1697 for which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall sendH7971 thee to us. 6Whether it be goodH2896, or whether it be evilH7451, we will obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to whom weH580 sendH7971 thee; that it may be wellH3190 with us, when we obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
7And it came to pass afterH7093 tenH6235 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414. 8Then calledH7121 he JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 who were with him, and all the peopleH5971 from the leastH6996 even to the greatestH1419, 9And saidH559 to them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to whom ye sentH7971 me to presentH5307 your supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 him; 10If ye will stillH7725 abideH3427 in this landH776, then will I buildH1129 you, and not pull you downH2040, and I will plantH5193 you, and not pluck you upH5428: for I repentH5162 of the evilH7451 that I have doneH6213 to you.
