Jeremiah 7:2Easy To Read VersionJeremiah, stand at the gate of the Lord’s house. Preach this message at the gate: See the chapter |
At that time, Baruch read the scroll {\cf2\super [304]} that contained Jeremiah’s words. He read the scroll in the temple of the Lord. Baruch read the scroll to all the people that were in the Lord’s temple. Baruch was in the room of Gemariah in the upper courtyard when he read from the scroll. That room was located at the entrance of the New Gate of the temple. Gemariah was the son of Shaphan. Gemariah was a scribe {\cf2\super [305]} in the temple.
So I want you to go to the temple of the Lord. Go there on a day of fasting {\cf2\super [302]} and read to the people from the scroll. Read to the people the messages from the Lord that you wrote on the scroll as I spoke them to you. Read those messages to all the people of Judah that come into Jerusalem from the towns where they live.
