Jeremiah 42:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ Then the people said to Jeremiah, “May the Lord be a true and loyal witness against us if we don’t do everything the Lord your God sends you to tell us. ⁶ It does not matter if we like the message or not. We will obey the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you. We will obey what he says so good things will happen to us.”

⁷ Ten days later the Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah.
