Jeremiah 36:3-10 Peradventure, the house of Judah will hearken, unto all the calamity, which I, am devising to execute against them,––to the end they may return, every man from his wicked, way, whereupon I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Peradventure, the house of Judah will hearken, unto all the calamity, which I, am devising to execute against them,––to the end they may return, every man from his wicked, way, whereupon I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin. ⁴ So Jeremiah called, Baruch, son of Neriah,––and Baruch wrote, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of Yahweh which he had spoken unto him, upon a scroll. ⁵ Then did Jeremiah command Baruch, saying,––I, am hindered, I cannot, enter the house of Yahweh; ⁶ Thou, therefore shalt enter, and read in the roll which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Yahweh, in the ears of the people, in the house of Yahweh, on the day of a fast,––moreover also, in the ears of all Judah who are coming in out of their cities, shalt thou read them: ⁷ Peradventure, their supplication, will fall prostrate, before Yahweh, and they return, every man from his wicked way,––For, great, are the anger and the indignation, which Yahweh hath spoken, against this people. ⁸ So then Baruch son of Neriah did, according to all which Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yahweh, in the house of Yahweh.
⁹ And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people of Jerusalem, and all the people who were coming in out of the cities of Judah, into Jerusalem, had proclaimed a fast before Yahweh; ¹⁰ Baruch, therefore, read in the book, the words of Jeremiah, in the house of Yahweh,––in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan––the scribe, in the upper court, at the opening of the new gate of the house of Yahweh, in the ears of all the people.
