The LORD said, “Jeremiah, don't ask me to help these people.
and I'm angry enough to destroy them, so don't try to stop me. But I will make your descendants into a great nation.
Jeremiah, don't pray for these people or beg me to rescue them. If you do, I won't listen, and I certainly won't listen if they pray!
The LORD said to me: Even if Moses and Samuel were here, praying with you, I wouldn't change my mind. So send the people of Judah away.
Jeremiah, don't pray for these people! I, the LORD, would refuse to listen.
Suppose you see one of our people commit a sin that isn't a deadly sin. You can pray, and that person will be given eternal life. But the sin must not be one that is deadly.
