Behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your request, and whatever the LORD answers you I will tell you. I will keep nothing back from you."H3414H5030H559H8085H6419H3068H430H1697H1697H3068H6030H5046H4513H1697H45135Then they said to Jeremiah, "May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act according to all the word with which the LORD your God sends you to us.H559H3414H3068H571H539H5707H6213H1697H3068H430H79716Whether it is good or bad, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the LORD our God."H2896H7451H8085H6963H3068H430H580H7971H3190H8085H6963H3068H4307At the end of ten days the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.H7093H6235H3117H1697H3068H34148Then he summoned Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest,H7121H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H5971H6996H14199and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your plea for mercy before him:H559H559H3068H430H3478H7971H5307H8467H644010If you will remain in this land, then I will build you up and not pull you down; I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I relent of the disaster that I did to you.H7725H3427H776H1129H2040H5193H5428H5162H7451H621311Do not fear the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Do not fear him, declares the LORD, for I am with you, to save you and to deliver you from his hand.H3372H6440H4428H894H6440H3373H3372H5002H3068H3467H5337H302712I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you and let you remain in your own land.H5414H7356H7355H7725H12713But if you say, 'We will not remain in this land,' disobeying the voice of the LORD your GodH559H3427H776H8085H6963H3068H43014and saying, 'No, we will go to the land of Egypt, where we shall not see war or hear the sound of the trumpet or be hungry for bread, and we will dwell there,'H559H935H776H4714H7200H4421H8085H6963H7782H7456H3899H342715then hear the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces to enter Egypt and go to live there,H8085H1697H3068H7611H3063H559H3068H6635H430H3478H7760H7760H6440H935H4714H935H148116then the sword that you fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which you are afraid shall follow close after you to Egypt, and there you shall die.H2719H3373H5381H776H4714H7458H1672H1692H310H4714H419117All the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to live there shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. They shall have no remnant or survivor from the disaster that I will bring upon them.H582H7760H6440H935H4714H1481H4191H2719H7458H1698H8300H6412H6440H7451H93518"For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You shall become an execration, a horror, a curse, and a taunt. You shall see this place no more.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H639H2534H5413H3427H3389H2534H5413H935H4714H423H8047H7045H2781H7200H472519The LORD has said to you, O remnant of Judah, 'Do not go to Egypt.' Know for a certainty that I have warned you this dayH3068H1696H7611H3063H935H4714H3045H3045H5749H311720that you have gone astray at the cost of your lives. For you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, 'Pray for us to the LORD our God, and whatever the LORD our God says declare to us and we will do it.'H8582H5315H7971H3068H430H559H6419H3068H430H3068H430H559H5046H621321And I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in anything that he sent me to tell you.H3117H5046H8085H6963H3068H430H797122Now therefore know for a certainty that you shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live."H3045H3045H4191H2719H7458H1698H4725H2654H935H1481

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
