Jeremiah 42:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

42 Then all the captains of the warriors, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Jezonias the son of Osaias, and the rest of the people from the least to the greatest came near:

² And they said to Jeremias the prophet: Let our supplication fall before thee: and pray thou for us to the Lord thy God for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as thy eyes do behold us.

³ And let the Lord thy God shew us the way by which we may walk, and the thing that we must do.
