Jeremiah 36:1-3

Expanded Bible

Jehoiakim Burns Jeremiah’s Scroll

36 The Lord spoke this word to Jeremiah during the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah [^C605 bc]: ² “Get a scroll. Write on it all the words I have spoken to you about Israel and Judah and all the nations. Write everything from when I first spoke to you, when Josiah was king, until now [^Chis prophecies began in the thirteenth year of this king, 626 bc; 1:1–3]. ³ Maybe the ·family [^Lhouse] of Judah will hear what ·disasters [evil; troubles] I am planning to ·bring on [^Ldo to] them and will ·stop doing wicked things [^Lturn back from his evil ways/paths]. Then I would forgive them for ·the sins and the evil things they have done [^Ltheir iniquities and their sins].”
