Jeremiah 42:1-3
EasyEnglish Bible
The people do not obey the Lord's message
42 All the army officers went to speak to the prophet Jeremiah. They included Kareah's son Johanan and Hoshaiah's son Jezaniah. All the people went with them, important people and ordinary people. 2 They said to Jeremiah, ‘Please listen to us. Pray to the Lord your God for those of us who remain alive. You can see that only a few of us remain from the many people that we were before. 3 Please ask the Lord to tell us where we should go. Ask him what we should do.’
