New International Version (1984) Help
42Then all the army officers, including Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest approachedH8269H2428H3110H1121H7143H3153H1121H1955H5971H6996H1419H5066
2Jeremiah the prophet and said to him, "Please hear our petition and pray to the LORD your God for this entire remnant. For as you now see, though we were once many, now only a few are left.H559H3414H5030H8467H5307H6440H6419H3068H430H7611H7604H4592H7235H5869H7200
3Pray that the LORD your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do."H3068H430H5046H1870H3212H1697H6213
4"I have heard you," replied Jeremiah the prophet. "I will certainly pray to the LORD your God as you have requested; I will tell you everything the LORD says and will keep nothing back from you."H3414H5030H559H8085H6419H3068H430H1697H1697H3068H6030H5046H4513H1697H4513
5Then they said to Jeremiah, "May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act in accordance with everything the LORD your God sends you to tell us.H559H3414H3068H571H539H5707H6213H1697H3068H430H7971
6Whether it is favorable or unfavorable, we will obey the LORD our God, to whom we are sending you, so that it will go well with us, for we will obey the LORD our God."H2896H7451H8085H6963H3068H430H580H7971H3190H8085H6963H3068H430
7Ten days later the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.H7093H6235H3117H1697H3068H3414
8So he called together Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers who were with him and all the people from the least to the greatest.H7121H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H5971H6996H1419
9He said to them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition, says:H559H559H3068H430H3478H7971H5307H8467H6440
10'If you stay in this land, I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you, for I am grieved over the disaster I have inflicted on you.H7725H3427H776H1129H2040H5193H5428H5162H7451H6213
11Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear. Do not be afraid of him, declares the LORD, for I am with you and will save you and deliver you from his hands.H3372H6440H4428H894H6440H3373H3372H5002H3068H3467H5337H3027
12I will show you compassion so that he will have compassion on you and restore you to your land.'H5414H7356H7355H7725H127
13"However, if you say, 'We will not stay in this land,' and so disobey the LORD your God,H559H3427H776H8085H6963H3068H430
14and if you say, 'No, we will go and live in Egypt, where we will not see war or hear the trumpet or be hungry for bread,'H559H935H776H4714H7200H4421H8085H6963H7782H7456H3899H3427
15then hear the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah. This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'If you are determined to go to Egypt and you do go to settle there,H8085H1697H3068H7611H3063H559H3068H6635H430H3478H7760H7760H6440H935H4714H935H1481
16then the sword you fear will overtake you there, and the famine you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die.H2719H3373H5381H776H4714H7458H1672H1692H310H4714H4191
17Indeed, all who are determined to go to Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, famine and plague; not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring on them.'H582H7760H6440H935H4714H1481H4191H2719H7458H1698H8300H6412H6440H7451H935
18This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'As my anger and wrath have been poured out on those who lived in Jerusalem, so will my wrath be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You will be an object of cursing and horror, of condemnation and reproach; you will never see this place again.'H559H3068H6635H430H3478H639H2534H5413H3427H3389H2534H5413H935H4714H423H8047H7045H2781H7200H4725
19"O remnant of Judah, the LORD has told you, 'Do not go to Egypt.' Be sure of this: I warn you todayH3068H1696H7611H3063H935H4714H3045H3045H5749H3117
20that you made a fatal mistake when you sent me to the LORD your God and said, 'Pray to the LORD our God for us; tell us everything he says and we will do it.'H8582H5315H7971H3068H430H559H6419H3068H430H3068H430H559H5046H6213
21I have told you today, but you still have not obeyed the LORD your God in all he sent me to tell you.H3117H5046H8085H6963H3068H430H7971
22So now, be sure of this: You will die by the sword, famine and plague in the place where you want to go to settle."H3045H3045H4191H2719H7458H1698H4725H2654H935H1481
