Jeremiah 36:1

The Scroll Read in the Temple

1 Now it came to pass in the ^afourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

2 “Take a ^ascroll of a book and ^bwrite on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against ^call the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of ^dJosiah even to this day.

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.
