Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 21 of Jeremiah. During the siege of Jerusalem, Zedekiah seeks a word from Yahweh, but the answer does not promise deliverance. God declares that he will fight against the city and place before it the way of life and the way of death. Escape from judgment is not found in military strength, but in accepting the destiny God has determined.

Frage doch den HERRN für uns.Denn Nebukadnezar, der König zu Babel, streitet wider uns; daß der HERR doch mit uns tun wolle nach allen seinen Wundern, damit er von uns abzöge.
Pregunta ahora por nosotros a Jehová; porque Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia hace guerra contra nosotros: quizá Jehová hará con nosotros según todas sus maravillas, y aquél se irá de sobre nosotros.
«Consulta a Jehová por nosotros, porque Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, nos hace la guerra. Quizá Jehová actúe con nosotros conforme a todas sus maravillas y aquel se retire de nosotros».
Consulte pour nous l'Eternel; car Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, nous fait la guerre; peut-être l'Eternel fera-t-il en notre faveur quelqu'un de ses miracles, afin qu'il s'éloigne de nous.
Deh! domanda per noi il Signore; perciocchè Nebucadnesar, re di Babilonia, guerreggia contro a noi; forse il Signore opererà inverso noi secondo tutte le sue maraviglie, e farà ch’egli si ritrarrà da noi.
Pergunta agora por nós ao SENHOR, por que Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, guerreia contra nós; bem pode ser que o SENHOR trate conosco segundo todas as suas maravilhas, e o faça retirar-se de nós.
「請你為我們求問耶和華,因為 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 前來攻擊我們;或者耶和華照他一切奇妙的作為待我們,使 巴比倫 王離開我們而去。」
