Jeremiah 36:3-10 Perhaps the house of Juda will hear all the evils which I purpose to do to them, that they may turn from their evil way and that I may be merciful to their iniquities and their sins.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Perhaps the house of Juda will hear all the evils which I purpose to do to them, that they may turn from their evil way and that I may be merciful to their iniquities and their sins. ⁴ Thereupon Jeremias sent for Baruch, son of Nerias, and he wrote in a book, from the mouth of Jeremias, all the words which the Lord had spoken to him. ⁵ Then Jeremias gave a charge to Baruch, saying, I am watched so that I cannot go to the house of the Lord; ⁶ therefore thou shalt read from this roll in the hearing of the people in the house of the Lord on the fast day, even in the hearing: of all Juda who come from their cities thou shalt read to them. ⁷ Perhaps they may find favour in the sight of the Lord and turn from their evil way, for great is the wrath and the anger of the Lord which he hath denounced against this people. ⁸ So Baruch did according to all that Jeremias commanded him, that he might read from the book the words of the Lord in the house of the Lord. ⁹ And it came to pass that in the eighth year of the reign of Joakim, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and the house of Juda kept a solemn fast before the Lord. ¹⁰ And Baruch read from the book the words of Jeremias in the house of the Lord in the house of Gamarias son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court at the vestibule of the new gate of the house of the Lord and in the hearing of all the people.
