إِرْمِيَا 42:2

وَقَالُوا لِإِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ: «لَيْتَ تَضَرُّعَنَا يَقَعُ أَمَامَكَ، فَتُصَلِّيَ لِأَجْلِنَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْبَقِيَّةِ. لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ بَقِينَا قَلِيلِينَ مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ كَمَا تَرَانَا عَيْنَاكَ.

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:)
