Jeremiah 42:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Then they said to Jeremiah, “We’ll do everything the Lord your God sends you to tell us to do. If we don’t, may he be a true and faithful witness against us. ⁶ It doesn’t matter whether what you say is in our favor or not. We’re asking you to pray to the Lord our God. And we’ll obey him. Things will go well with us. That’s because we will obey the Lord our God.”

⁷ Ten days later a message came to Jeremiah from the Lord.
