2Take thee a roll of a book, and thou shalt write in it all the words that I have spoken to thee against Israel and Juda, and against all the nations from the day that I spoke to thee, from the days of Josias even to this day.

Jeremiah 36:8, Jeremiah 36:9, Jeremiah 36:8, Jeremiah 36:9, Jeremiah 7:2
