4 And Jeremiah the prophet, said unto them, I have heard; behold me! praying unto Yahweh your God according to your words, - and it shall come to pass that the whole thing that Yahweh shall answer you, I will tell you, I will keep back from you, nothing. 5 They, therefore said unto Jeremiah, Yahweh be against us, as a witness true and faithful, - if according to all the word which Yahweh thy God shall send thee unto us, so we do not perform: 6 whether for good or for ill, unto the voice of Yahweh our God for which we are sending thee unto him, will we hearken, - to the end it may be well with us, because we will hearken unto the voice of Yahweh our God.
