“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.”
The instruction continues: '"Perhaps their supplication will come before the LORD, and every one will turn from his evil way."' The public reading during a fast is meant to prompt repentance. Prophetic words read in context of prayer create the possibility of spiritual transformation.
