Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah ,
that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD ,
saying ,
*
Take thee a roll of a book ,
and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel ,
and against Judah ,
and against all the nations ,
from the day I spake unto thee ,
from the days of Josiah ,
even unto this day .
*
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them ;
that they may return every man from his evil way ;
that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin .
*
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah :
and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD ,
which he had spoken unto him ,
upon a roll of a book .
*
And Jeremiah commanded Baruch ,
saying ,
I am shut up ;
I cannot go into the house of the LORD :
*
Therefore go thou ,
and read in the roll ,
which thou hast written from my mouth ,
the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD '
S house upon the fasting day :
and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities .
*
It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD ,
and will return every one from his evil way :
for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people .
