Jeremiah 36:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 It may be that they will [a]pray before the Lord, and everyone return from his evil way, for great is the anger and the wrath that the Lord hath declared against this people.
8 So Baruch the son of Neriah did according unto all, that Jeremiah the Prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord’s house.
9 ¶ And in the fifth [b]year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah King of Judah, in the ninth month, they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
