21The word+ that occurred to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when King Zed·e·kiʹah*+ sent to him Pashʹhur+ the son of Mal·chiʹah and Zeph·a·niʹah+ the son of Ma·a·seiʹah, the priest, saying:
2 “Please inquire in our behalf of Jehovah,+ because Neb·u·chad·rezʹzar the king of Babylon is making war against us.+ Perhaps Jehovah will do with us according to all his wonderful works, so that he will withdraw from us.”+
