Jeremiah 42:4-6
American Standard Version
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto Jehovah your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass that whatsoever thing Jehovah shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you. 5 Then they said to Jeremiah, Jehovah be a true and faithful witness [a]amongst us, if we do not according to all the word wherewith Jehovah thy God shall send thee to us. 6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of Jehovah our God.

4 “I have heard you,” replied Jeremiah the prophet. “I will certainly pray(A) to the Lord your God as you have requested; I will tell(B) you everything the Lord says and will keep nothing back from you.”(C)
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the Lord be a true(D) and faithful(E) witness(F) against us if we do not act in accordance with everything the Lord your God sends you to tell us. 6 Whether it is favorable or unfavorable, we will obey the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you, so that it will go well(G) with us, for we will obey(H) the Lord our God.”
