— Jeremiah 42:8, NET Bible
“Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,”
“Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, ”
“Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,”
“And he called Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest.”
“And he sent for Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were still with him, and all the people, from the least to the greatest,”
“Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,”
They answered Jeremiah,“May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not do just as the LORD your God sends you to tell us to do.
We will obey what the LORD our God to whom we are sending you tells us to do. It does not matter whether we like what he tells us or not. We will obey what he tells us to do so that things will go well for us.”
Ten days later the LORD’s message came to Jeremiah.
So Jeremiah summoned Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers who were with him and all the people of every class.
Then Jeremiah said to them,“You sent me to the LORD God of Israel to make your request known to him. Here is what he says to you:
‘If you will just stay in this land, I will build you up. I will not tear you down. I will firmly plant you. I will not uproot you. For I am filled with sorrow because of the disaster that I have brought on you.
Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon whom you now fear. Do not be afraid of him because I will be with you to save you and to rescue you from his power. I, the LORD, affirm it!
