42:3. And let the Lord thy God shew us the way by which we may walk, and
the thing that we must do.
42:4. And Jeremias the prophet said to them: I have heard you: behold I
will pray to the Lord your God according to your words: and whatsoever
thing he shall answer me, I will declare it to you: and I will hide
nothing from you.
42:5. And they said to Jeremias: The Lord be witness between us of truth
and faithfulness, if we do not according to every thing for which the
Lord thy God shall send thee to us.
42:6. Whether it be good or evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our
God, to whom we send thee: that it may be well with us when we shall
hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.
Good or evil... That is, agreeable or disagreeable.
42:7. Now after ten days, the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.
42:8. 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.
42:9. And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, to
whom you sent me, to present your supplications before him:
42:10. If you will be quiet and remain in this land, I will build you
up, and not pull you down: I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for
now I am appeased for the evil that I have done to you.
I am appeased for the evil that I have done to you... That is, I am
appeased, as I have sufficiently punished you, and now I am reconciled
with you.
42:11. Fear not because of the king of Babylon, of whom you are greatly
afraid: fear him not, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to save you,
and to deliver you from his hand.
42:12. And I will shew mercies to you, and will take pity on you, and
will cause you to dwell in your own land.
42:13. But if you say: We will not dwell in this land, neither will we
hearken to the voice of the Lord our God,
42:14. Saying: No, but we will go into the land of Egypt: where we shall
see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor suffer hunger: and
there we will dwell.
42:15. For this now hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Juda: Thus
saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces to go
into Egypt, and enter in to dwell there:
42:16. The sword which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of
Egypt: and the famine, whereof you are afraid, shall cleave to you in
Egypt, and there you shall die.
42:17. And all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt, to dwell
there, shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: none of
them shall remain, nor escape from the face of the evil that I will
bring upon them.
42:18. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger
and my indignation hath been kindled against the inhabitants of
Jerusalem: so shall my indignation be kindled against you, when you
shall enter into Egypt, and you shall be an execration, and an
astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach: and you shall see this place
no more.
42:19. This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O ye remnant of
Juda: Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have adjured you this
day.
42:20. For you have deceived your own souls: for you sent me to the Lord
our God, saying: Pray for us to the Lord our God, and according to all
that the Lord our God shall say to thee, so declare unto us, and we will
do it.
42:21. And now I have declared it to you this day, and you have not
obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, with regard to all the things for
which he hath sent me to you.
