"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:"
— Jeremiah 42:9, NET Bible
“And said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;”
“and said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him: ”
“and said to them, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him:”
“And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, to whom you sent me, to present your supplications before him:”
“And said to them, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to put your request before him:”
“And said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;”
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!
I will have compassion on you so that he in turn will have mercy on you and allow you to return to your land.’
