“The prophet Jeremiah
Said to them.
‘Very well!
I am going to pray
To Yahweh
Your God,
As you request.
Whatever Yahweh
Answers you,
I will tell you.
I will keep nothing back
From you.’”
The prophet Jeremiah responded to their request to intercede with Yahweh about their future. He was willing to pray to their God, not just his God, Yahweh, as they had asked. Whatever response he got back from Yahweh, he was going to tell them. He was not going to hide or sugarcoat anything that Yahweh had to say.
