¹⁴ “Therefore ^(A)do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf, ^(B)for I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their trouble.

¹¹ The Lord said to me: ^(A)“Do not pray for the welfare of this people.

¹⁰ Now therefore ^(A)let me alone, that ^(B)my wrath may burn hot against them and ^(C)I may consume them, in order that ^(D)I may make a great nation of you.”

^14 (A)Let me alone, that I may destroy them and ^(B)blot out their name from under heaven. And ^(C)I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’

¹⁶ If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and ^(A)God^[a] will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. ^(B)There is sin that leads to death; ^(C)I do not say that one should pray for that.
