Jeremiah 7:16
16“As for you, ado not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I will not hear you.Jeremiah 11:14
14“Therefore bdo not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf, cfor I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their trouble.Jeremiah 14:11
11The Lord said to me: d“Do not pray for the welfare of this people.Jeremiah 18:18-21
18Then they said, e“Come, let us make plots against Jeremiah, ffor the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. gCome, let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.”19 Hear me, O Lord,
and hlisten to the voice of my adversaries.
20 iShould good be repaid with evil?
Yet jthey have dug a pit for my life.
kRemember how I stood before you
to speak good for them,
to turn away your wrath from them.
21Therefore ldeliver up their children to famine;
give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless mand widowed.
May their men meet death by pestilence,
their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.
John 17:9
9I am praying for them. nI am not praying for the world but for those owhom you have given me, for pthey are yours.
