Contemporary English Version

42 ¹ Johanan, Jezaniah,^[a] the other army officers, and everyone else in the group, came to me ² and said, “Please, Jeremiah, pray to the Lord your God for us. Judah used to have many people, but as you can see, only a few of us are left. ³ Ask the Lord to tell us where he wants us to go and what he wants us to do.”
