17 And now pardon,+ please, my sin just this once and ENTREAT+ Jehovah YOUR God that he may turn away just this deadly plague* from upon me.”

7 Finally the people came to Moses and said: “We have sinned,+ because we have spoken against Jehovah and against you. Intercede with Jehovah that he may remove the serpents from upon us.”+ And Moses went interceding in behalf of the people.+

3 And King Zed·e·kiʹah proceeded to send Je·huʹcal+ the son of Shel·e·miʹah* and Zeph·a·niʹah*+ the son of Ma·a·seiʹah*+ the priest to Jeremiah the prophet, saying: “Pray, please, in our behalf to Jehovah our God.”+

24 In answer Simon said: “YOU men, make supplication for me+ to Jehovah* that none of the things YOU have said may come upon me.”

16 Therefore openly confess+ YOUR sins to one another and pray for one another, that YOU may get healed.+ A righteous man’s supplication, when it is at work,* has much force.+
