2. and they say unto Jeremiah the prophet, `Let, we pray thee, our supplication fall before thee, and pray for us unto Jehovah thy God, for all this remnant; for we have been left a few out of many, as thine eyes do see us;
3. and Jehovah thy God doth declare to us the way in which we walk, and the thing that we do.'
