Jeremiah 36:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ Then Jeremiah commanded Baruch, “I cannot go to the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord. I ·must stay here [^Lam confined/restricted/imprisoned]. ⁶ So I want you to go to the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord on a day when the people are fasting. Read from the scroll ·to [^Lin the ears of] all the people of Judah who come into Jerusalem from their towns. Read the messages from the Lord, which are the words you wrote on the scroll ·as I spoke them to you [^Lfrom my mouth]. ⁷ Perhaps ·they will ask the Lord to help them [^Ltheir supplications will fall before the Lord]. Perhaps each one will ·stop doing wicked things [^Lturn from their evil ways], because the Lord has announced that he is very angry with them.”
