Jeremiah Asked to Pray for the People

42Then all the military leaders, Kereah's son Jonathan, Hoshaiah's son Jezaniah, and all the people from the least to the greatest approached Jeremiah.H8269H2428H3110H1121H7143H3153H1121H1955H5971H6996H1419H5066
2They said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please listen to what we have to ask of you. Pray to the Lord your God for us and for all these survivors. Indeed, only a few of us remain out of many, as you can see.H559H3414H5030H8467H5307H6440H6419H3068H430H7611H7604H4592H7235H5869H7200
3Pray that the Lord your God may inform us as to how we should live and what we should do."H3068H430H5046H1870H3212H1697H6213
4Jeremiah the prophet said to them, "I've heard, and I'm going to pray to the Lord your God just as you have requested. Whatever the Lord answers, I'll tell you. I won't withhold anything from you."H3414H5030H559H8085H6419H3068H430H1697H1697H3068H6030H5046H4513H1697H4513
5Then they said to Jeremiah, "May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us if we don't do everything that the Lord your God tells us through you.H559H3414H3068H571H539H5707H6213H1697H3068H430H7971
6Whether it seems good or bad, we will obey the Lord our God to whom we send you, so it may go well for us. Indeed, we will obey the Lord our God."H2896H7451H8085H6963H3068H430H580H7971H3190H8085H6963H3068H430

The Lord’s Answer through Jeremiah

7At the end of ten days the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.H7093H6235H3117H1697H3068H3414
8So he called Kareah's son Jonathan, all the military leaders who were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest.H7121H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H5971H6996H1419
9He said to them, "This is what the Lord God of Israel says, to whom you sent me to take your request:H559H559H3068H430H3478H7971H5307H8467H6440
10'If you will just remain in this land, I'll build you up and not pull you down. I'll plant you and not uproot you, for I'm sorry about the disaster I've brought on you.H7725H3427H776H1129H2040H5193H5428H5162H7451H6213
11Don't be afraid of the king of Babylon as you have been. Don't fear him,' declares the Lord, 'because I am with you to save you and deliver you from his control.H3372H6440H4428H894H6440H3373H3372H5002H3068H3467H5337H3027
12I'll show you compassion, so he will have compassion on you and return you to your land.H5414H7356H7355H7725H127
13But if you disobey the Lord your God by saying, "We won't stay in this land,"H559H3427H776H8085H6963H3068H430
14and you also say, "No, but we will go to the land of Egypt where we won't see war or hear the sound of the trumpet or hunger for bread, and there we will stay,"H559H935H776H4714H7200H4421H8085H6963H7782H7456H3899H3427
15then hear the word of the Lord, remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: "If you are really determined to go into Egypt, and you go there to settle,H8085H1697H3068H7611H3063H559H3068H6635H430H3478H7760H7760H6440H935H4714H935H1481
16the sword that you fear will overtake you there in the land of Egypt. The famine that you dread will pursue you into Egypt, and there you will die.H2719H3373H5381H776H4714H7458H1672H1692H310H4714H4191
17All the people who are determined to go into Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, by famine, and by the plague. No one will survive the disaster that I'll bring on them."H582H7760H6440H935H4714H1481H4191H2719H7458H1698H8300H6412H6440H7451H935
18For this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: 'Just 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 enter Egypt. You will be a curse and an object of horror, ridicule, and scorn, and you will never again see this place.'H559H3068H6635H430H3478H639H2534H5413H3427H3389H2534H5413H935H4714H423H8047H7045H2781H7200H4725
19The Lord has told you, remnant of Judah, 'Don't go to Egypt!' So be fully aware that I've warned you, today,H3068H1696H7611H3063H935H4714H3045H3045H5749H3117
20that you have deceived yourselves. Indeed, you yourselves sent me to the Lord your God, saying 'Pray to the Lord your God for us, and whatever the Lord our God tells us we will do.'H8582H5315H7971H3068H430H559H6419H3068H430H3068H430H559H5046H6213
21I've told you today, but you haven't obeyed the Lord your God in all that he sent me to tell you.H3117H5046H8085H6963H3068H430H7971
22Now, be fully aware that you will die by the sword, by famine, and by plague in the place where you want to settle."H3045H3045H4191H2719H7458H1698H4725H2654H935H1481
