Jeremiah 42:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

⁴ And Jeremias the prophet said to them: I have heard you: behold I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words: and whatsoever thing he shall answer me, I will declare it to you: and I will hide nothing from you.
