Jeremiah 42:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us if we fail to do everything that the Lord your God tells us through you. ⁶ Whether we like it or not, we will obey all that the Lord our God says. We will obey the Lord our God, to whom we’re sending you, so it may go well for us.”

⁷ Ten days later Jeremiah received the Lord’s word.
