Words on a scroll

1In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

2Take for yourself a scroll, and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you concerning Israel and concerning Judah and concerning all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah until this day.

3Perhaps the house of Judah will hear of all the disaster that I am planning to bring on them, so that each man may turn from his evil way, and I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.

4So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote on a scroll all the words of Yahweh from Jeremiah’s mouth, which he had spoken to him.
