# General Information:
Yahweh speaks to Jeremiah about the people of Judah. In these verses, "this people" refers to the people of Judah.
# do not pray for this people, and do not lift up a cry of distress or say a prayer on their behalf, and do not petition me
These four clauses each mean about the same thing and are repeated for emphasis. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
# lift up a cry of distress
"cry out with sadness"
# on their behalf
"for their benefit" or "for them"
# petition me
"plead with me"
