Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
Jeremiah told them, 'I hear you loud and clear. I'm going to pray to God about this situation, and whatever he tells me, good news or hard truth, I'm going to share it all with you. I won't hold anything back or sugarcoat it.'
Real friends don't filter the truth, they give it to you straight, even when it's hard to hear.
