But if they are prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now (g) make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
(g) For it was not only the prophet's office to show the word of God, but also to pray for the sins of the people, (Genesis 20:7) which these could not do because they had no express word: for God had pronounced the contrary.
