Jeremiah 42:3-5

Good News Translation

³ Pray that the Lord our God will show us the way we should go and what we should do.”

⁴ I answered, “Very well, then. I will pray to the Lord our God, just as you have asked, and whatever he says, I will tell you. I will not keep back anything from you.”

⁵ Then they said to me, “May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not obey all the commands that the Lord our God gives you for us.
