Baruch 1:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ When the book was read, everyone cried, fasted, and prayed to the Lord. ⁶ Then they all gave as much money as they could, ⁷ and the collection was sent to Jerusalem to Jehoiakim the High Priest, son of Hilkiah and grandson of Shallum, and to the other priests and to all the people who were with him in Jerusalem.
