Zedekiah
Time presses. Ere the night is spent I must say yes or no; where perchance no is yes, and yes is no. God give me light. [He rises to his feet and all rise with him] Leave me to myself. The cleavage among you increases my own indecision. I shall act as my heart dictates, and it may well be that ere ye reach home I shall have made my choice, for my soul travaileth. Pray, friends, pray, that my choice may be the best for Israel. Pray for me, pray for Jerusalem.
Pashur
God give thee light. I shall not close my eyes in sleep until thou hast chosen. I will hold vigil before the altar.
Hananiah
Remember God.
Nahum
Remember the city.
Imre
Remember the children, remember the women.
