¹⁷ Now, ^(A)gird up your loins and arise, and speak to them all which I command you. ^(B)Do not be dismayed before them, or I will dismay you before them.

⁶ So you go and ^(A)read from the scroll which you have ^(B)written ^[a]at my dictation the words of the Lord ^[b]to the people in the Lord’s house on a ^(C)fast day. And also you shall read them ^[c]to all the people of Judah who come from their cities.
