3 It amay be that the house of Judah will hear all the adversities which I purpose to bring upon them, that everyone may bturn from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Then Jeremiah acalled Baruch the son of Neriah; and bBaruch wrote on a scroll of a book,1 at the instruction of Jeremiah, all the words of the Lord which He had spoken to him.
5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am confined, I cannot go into the house of the Lord.
6 You go, therefore, and read from the scroll which you have written1 at my instruction, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord’s house on athe day of fasting. And you shall also read them in the hearing of all Judah who come from their cities.
7 It may be that they will present their supplication before the Lord, and everyone will turn from his evil way. For great is the anger and the fury that the Lord has pronounced against this people.”
8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord’s house.
