Jeremiah 36

36 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this message came to Jeremiah from the Eternal: 2 “Take a scroll and write upon it all that I have ever said to you against Jerusalem and Judah and all the nations, from the day when I first spoke to you in Josiah’s reign down to this day. 3 It may be that when the house of Judah hear all the evil that I intend for them, they will all give up their evil life and receive my pardon for their sin and guilt.” 4 So Jeremiah summoned Baruch the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote upon a scroll, while Jeremiah dictated all that the Eternal had said to him. 5 Then Jeremiah told Baruch, “I am debarred from entering the temple; 6 so you must go and read aloud on a fast-day in the temple the words of the Eternal which you have written, to my dictation, on the scroll; the people are to hear them, and you must also read them aloud to the Judaeans who come in from the country towns. 7 It may be that, with humble entreaties to the Eternal, they will give up their evil life, each one of them; for fierce is the anger and fury with which the Eternal has threatened this people.”
