Jeremiah 36:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ But I want you to go there the next time the people are fasting. You are to read the scroll aloud, so that they will hear everything that the Lord has said to me and that I have dictated to you. Do this where everyone can hear you, including the people of Judah who have come in from their towns. ⁷ Perhaps they will pray to the Lord and turn from their evil ways, because the Lord has threatened this people with his terrible anger and fury.” ⁸ So Baruch read the Lord's words in the Temple exactly as I had told him to do.
