Jeremiah 42:1-3

Tree of Life Version

Warning Against Flight to Egypt

42 Then all the commanders of the forces, Johanan son of Kareah, Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, approached ² and said to the prophet Jeremiah, “Please, let our petition be presented before you, and pray to Adonai your God on our behalf,^[a] for all this remnant—for we who are left are but a few out of many, as you are seeing with your own eyes— ³ that Adonai your God may tell us the way we should go and what we should do.”
