Jeremiah 42:1-6 - The Remnant Asks Jeremiah To Pray To Yahweh For Direction

¹ So all the rulers, and Johanan the son of Kareah, Azariah the son of Hoshaiah came with all the people, from the least unto the most, ² and said unto Jeremiah the prophet, "O hear our petition, that thou mayest pray for us unto the LORD thy God, and for the remnant, whereof there be very few left of many, as thou seest us: ³ that the LORD thy God may show us a way to go in, and tell us what we should do."

⁴ Then Jeremiah the Prophet said unto them, "I have heard you. Behold, I will pray unto God your LORD, as ye have required me: and look what answer the LORD giveth you, I shall certify you thereof, and keep nothing back from you."

⁵ And they said to Jeremiah, "The LORD of truth and faithfulness be our record, that we will do all that the LORD thy God commandeth us; ⁶ whether it be good or evil. We will hearken unto the voice of our LORD God to whom we send thee that we may prosper, when we have followed the voice of the LORD our God."
