RF JER 42:1 Jeremiah Asked to Pray for Guidance.
From there the whole force proceeded with Jokhanan-ben-Korakh, and Izaniah-ben-Hoshiah, and all the crowd,
RF JER 42:2 both little and great, and said to Jeremiah the Preacher: "Let us request you to lie down on your face, and pray to your EVER-LIVING GOD on account of us,—on account of this little fragment of the many your eyes have seen we once were,
RF JER 42:3 and let your EVER-LIVING GOD inform us of the way we should go and the things we should do."
RF JER 42:4 And Jeremiah the Preacher answered "I have heard you. I will pray to your EVER-LIVING GOD as you command;—and whatever message the EVER-LIVING replies, I will report to you. I will not hold a word back from you."
RF JER 42:5 When they replied, "May the EVER-LIVING be a true and faithful witness against us, if we do not act in accordance with every word your EVER-LIVING GOD sends to us!
RF JER 42:6 We will do it! Whether the direction of our EVER-LIVING GOD is pleasant or unpleasant. Since we have sent you to Him we will obey,—so that it may benefit us. We will indeed listen to the voice of our EVER-LIVING GOD.
RF JER 42:7 It happened at the end of ten days that the command of the EVER-LIVING came to Jeremiah,
RF JER 42:8 and he summoned Jokhanan-ben-Korakh, and all the officers of the forces who were with him, and all the crowd, from the children to the adults, and said to them,
RF JER 42:9 "Thus says the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel, to whom you sent me to lay down your entreaty before Him,
RF JER 42:10 'If you continue in this country, then I will build you up, and not throw down,—and plant you and not pull up,—because I am grieved at the misery I have made for you.
RF JER 42:11 Fear nothing from the king of Babel, whom you fear,—be not afraid about him,' says the EVER-LIVING, 'for I will be with you to secure you, and to deliver you from his hand, and show you mercy;—
RF JER 42:12 and he will show you mercy, and restore you to your land.'
RF JER 42:13 But if you reply, We will not continue in this country, nor listen to the voice of GOD,'
RF JER 42:14 and say, 'No! but we will go to the land of the Mitzeraim where we shall not see war, nor hear the voice of a trumpet,—nor famish for bread, and we will settle there';
RF JER 42:15 then, again, hear the message of the EVER-LIVING, Remnant of Judah! Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, the GOD of Israel! If you turn your faces to go to Mitzer, and go as foreigners there,
RF JER 42:16 the sword you are afraid of will come there to hunt you in the land of the Mitzeraim, and the famine you dread will stick close after you there in the land of the Mitzeraim;—and there you will die!
RF JER 42:17 Yes! All the men who set their faces to go to Mitzer, to lodge there, will die by the sword, the famine and the plague, and shall not possess an escape or refuge from the miseries that I will bring upon them!"
RF JER 42:18 "For thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, the GOD of Israel! 'As I poured out My anger and indignation upon the population of Jerusalem, so I will pour My indignation upon you who are going to the Mitzeraim, and you shall become a curse, and a source of desolation, and degradation, and reproach and, never again see this place!'
RF JER 42:19 The command of the EVER-LIVING to you, the Remnant of Judah, is 'Go not to the Mitzeraim!' Comprehend what I have told you to-day!
RF JER 42:20 However you deluded your own souls when you sent me to your EVER-LIVING GOD, saying Entreat your EVER-LIVING GOD on account of us,—and whatever our EVER-LIVING GOD says to us, we will follow and do it!'
RF JER 42:21 I have told you to-day, but you will not listen to the direction of your EVER-LIVING GOD in anything He has sent by me to you!
RF JER 42:22 Therefore, now, assure yourselves you will die by the sword, by famine, and by plague in the place where you had decided to go and lodge."
