1 Then all the army officers, including Johanan, Kareah’s son, and Jezaniah, Hoshaiah’s son, and the rest of the people, from the least to the greatest, approached
2 Jeremiah the prophet and said to him, "We have something to ask you: Please pray to the Lord your God for us, this small group, for as you can see we were once many but now are very few.
3 May the Lord your God show us where we should go and what we should do."
4 The prophet Jeremiah replied, "Yes, I’ll pray to the Lord your God as you have asked. And I’ll tell you whatever the Lord says; I won’t hide anything from you."
