The People Ask Jeremiah to Pray for Them
42 Then all the army leaders, including Johanan son of Kareah and Azariah[a] son of Hoshaiah, came with people of every class 2 and said to me, “Please do what we ask you! Pray to the Lord our God for us. Pray for all of us who have survived. Once there were many of us; but now only a few of us are left, as you can see. 3 Pray that the Lord our God will show us the way we should go and what we should do.”
