New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 And they said to Jeremiah, “May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not follow all the instructions the Lord, your God, sends us through you.(A) 6 Whether we like it or not, we will obey the command of the Lord, our God, to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us for obeying the command of the Lord, our God.”(B)
7 Ten days passed before the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.
