Jeremiah 36:5-8

English Standard Version

⁵ And Jeremiah ordered ^(A)Baruch, saying, ^(B)“I am banned from going to the house of the Lord, ⁶ so you are to go, and ^(C)on a day of fasting in the hearing of all the people in the Lord's house you shall read the words of the Lord from the scroll that you have written at my dictation. You shall read them also in the hearing of all the men of Judah who come out of their cities. ^7 (D)It may be that their plea for mercy will come before the Lord, ^(E)and that every one will turn from his evil way, for great is the anger and wrath that the Lord has pronounced against this people.” ⁸ And Baruch the son of Neriah did all that Jeremiah the prophet ordered him about reading from the scroll the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
