Jeremiah 42:1-3

Common English Bible

Don’t go to Egypt!

42 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.”
