So you shall go and (G)read from the scroll, which you have (H)written [e]at my dictation, the words of Yahweh [f]in the hearing of the people in the house of Yahweh on a (I)fast day. And also you shall read them in the hearing of all the people of Judah who come from their cities. (J)Perhaps their supplication will [g]come before Yahweh, and everyone will turn from his evil way, for (K)great is the anger and the wrath that Yahweh has spoken against this people.”
