Jeremiah 42: 1-12 Stay here in this land. Then all the guerrilla leaders including Johanan son of Kareah and Jesaniah son of Hoshaiah and all the people from the least to the greatest, approached Jeremiah the prophet. They said “Please pray to the LORD your God for us. As you can see we are only a tiny remnant compared to what we were before. Pray that the LORD your God will show us what to do and where to go.” Whether we like it or not, we will obey the LORD our God to whom we are sending you with our plea. For if we obey him, everything will turn out well for us. Ten days later the LORD gave his reply … “Stay here in this land. If you do I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you. For I am sorry about all the punishment I have had to bring upon you. Do not fear the king of Babylon anymore,” says the LORD. “For I am with you and will save you and rescue you from his power.”
