Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words 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.
Go thou - on the following year (Jeremiah 36:9).
Fasting day - (see Jeremiah 36:9). An extraordinary fast in the 9th month, whereas the fast on the great day of atonement was on the 10th day of the 7th month (Leviticus 16:29; Leviticus 23:27-32), appointed to avert the impending calamity, when Nebuchadnezzar, having in the year before (i:e., the 4th year of Jehoiakim) smitten Pharaoh-necho at Carchemish, it was feared would attack Judea as the ally of Egypt (2 Kings 23:34-35). The fast was likely to be an occasion on which Jeremiah would find the Jews more softened, as well as a larger number of them met together.
