Jeremiah 42:2

and said to Jeremiah the prophet , Let our plea for mercy come before you, and pray to the Lord your God for us, for all this remnant — because we are left with but a few , as your eyes see us—

Jeremiah the prophet and said to him, “Please hear our petition and pray to the Lord your God for this entire remnant. For as you now see, though we were once many, now only a few are left.

And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the Lord thy God, even for all this remnant; ( for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:)
