Jeremiah 42:5

3 that the Lord your God may show us ^athe way in which we should walk and the thing we should do.”

4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard. Indeed, I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words, and it shall be, that ^awhatever the Lord answers you, I will declare it to you. I will ^bkeep nothing back from you.”

5 So they said to Jeremiah, ^a“Let the Lord be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not do according to everything which the Lord your God sends us by you.

6 Whether it is pleasing or displeasing, we will ^aobey the voice of the Lord our God to whom we send you, ^bthat it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.”

7 And it happened after ten days that the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.
