Then all the commanders of the forces ,
and Joha '
nan the son of Kare '
ah and Azari '
ah the son of Hoshai '
ah ,
and all the people from the least to the greatest ,
came near
*
and said to Jeremiah the prophet , "
Let our supplication come before you ,
and pray to the LORD your God for us ,
for all this remnant (
for we are left but a few of many ,
as your eyes see us ),
*
that the LORD your God may show us the way we should go ,
and the thing that we should do ."

Jeremiah the prophet said to them , "
I have heard you ;
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 ."
*
Then 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 .
*
Whether it is good or evil ,
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 ."
