Baruch 1:3-5

Good News Translation

^3-4 (A)Baruch read the book aloud to Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and to all the people who lived in Babylon by the Sud River. Everyone came to hear it read—nobles, children of royal families, elders, in fact, all the people, no matter what their status.

⁵ When the book was read, everyone cried, fasted, and prayed to the Lord.
