Jeremiah 42:2-4

International Standard Version

² They told Jeremiah the prophet, “Please listen to what we have to ask of you. Pray to the Lord your God for us and for all these survivors. Indeed, only a few of us remain out of many, as you can see.^{[a] 3} Pray that the Lord your God may inform us as to how we should live^[b] and what we should do.”

⁴ Jeremiah the prophet told them, “I’ve heard, and I’m going to pray to the Lord your God just as you have requested. Whatever the Lord answers, I’ll tell you. I won’t withhold anything from you.”
