And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
fourth
year
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah
king
of
Judah,
[that]
this
word
came
unto
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD,
saying,
2
Take
thee
a
roll
of
a
book,
and
write
therein
all
the
words
that
I
have
spoken
unto
thee
against
Israel,
and
against
Judah,
and
against
all
the
nations,
from
the
day
I
spake
unto
thee,
from
the
days
of
Josiah,
even
unto
this
day.
3
It
may
be
that
the
house
of
Judah
will
hear
all
the
evil
which
I
purpose
to
do
unto
them;
that
they
may
return
every
man
from
his
evil
way;
that
I
may
forgive
their
iniquity
and
their
sin.
4
Then
Jeremiah
called
Baruch
the
son
of
Neriah:
and
Baruch
wrote
from
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah
all
the
words
of
the
LORD,
which
he
had
spoken
unto
him,
upon
a
roll
of
a
book.
5
And
Jeremiah
commanded
Baruch,
saying,
I
[am]
shut
up;
I
cannot
go
into
the
house
of
the
LORD:
6
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.
7
It
may
be
they
will
present
their
supplication
before
the
LORD,
and
will
return
every
one
from
his
evil
way:
for
great
[is]
the
anger
and
the
fury
that
the
LORD
hath
pronounced
against
this
people.
8
And
Baruch
the
son
of
Neriah
did
according
to
all
that
Jeremiah
the
prophet
commanded
him,
reading
in
the
book
the
words
of
the
LORD
in
the
LORD’S
house.
9
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
fifth
year
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah
king
of
Judah,
in
the
ninth
month,
[that]
they
proclaimed
a
fast
before
the
LORD
to
all
the
people
in
Jerusalem,
and
to
all
the
people
that
came
from
the
cities
of
Judah
unto
Jerusalem.
10
Then
read
Baruch
in
the
book
the
words
of
Jeremiah
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
in
the
chamber
of
Gemariah
the
son
of
Shaphan
the
scribe,
in
the
higher
court,
at
the
entry
of
the
new
gate
of
the
LORD’S
house,
in
the
ears
of
all
the
people.
11
When
Michaiah
the
son
of
Gemariah,
the
son
of
Shaphan,
had
heard
out
of
the
book
all
the
words
of
the
LORD,
12
Then
he
went
down
into
the
king’s
house,
into
the
scribe’s
chamber:
and,
lo,
all
the
princes
sat
there,
[even]
Elishama
the
scribe,
and
Delaiah
the
son
of
Shemaiah,
and
Elnathan
the
son
of
Achbor,
and
Gemariah
the
son
of
Shaphan,
and
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Hananiah,
and
all
the
princes.
13
Then
Michaiah
declared
unto
them
all
the
words
that
he
had
heard,
when
Baruch
read
the
book
in
the
ears
of
the
people.
14
Therefore
all
the
princes
sent
Jehudi
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
the
son
of
Cushi,
unto
Baruch,
saying,
Take
in
thine
hand
the
roll
wherein
thou
hast
read
in
the
ears
of
the
people,
and
come.
So
Baruch
the
son
of
Neriah
took
the
roll
in
his
hand,
and
came
unto
them.
15
And
they
said
unto
him,
Sit
down
now,
and
read
it
in
our
ears.
So
Baruch
read
[it]
in
their
ears.
16
Now
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
had
heard
all
the
words,
they
were
afraid
both
one
and
other,
and
said
unto
Baruch,
We
will
surely
tell
the
king
of
all
these
words.
17
And
they
asked
Baruch,
saying,
Tell
us
now,
How
didst
thou
write
all
these
words
at
his
mouth?
18
Then
Baruch
answered
them,
He
pronounced
all
these
words
unto
me
with
his
mouth,
and
I
wrote
[them]
with
ink
in
the
book.
19
Then
said
the
princes
unto
Baruch,
Go,
hide
thee,
thou
and
Jeremiah;
and
let
no
man
know
where
ye
20
And
they
went
in
to
the
king
into
the
court,
but
they
laid
up
the
roll
in
the
chamber
of
Elishama
the
scribe,
and
told
all
the
words
in
the
ears
of
the
king.
21
So
the
king
sent
Jehudi
to
fetch
the
roll:
and
he
took
it
out
of
Elishama
the
scribe’s
chamber.
And
Jehudi
read
it
in
the
ears
of
the
king,
and
in
the
ears
of
all
the
princes
which
stood
beside
the
king.
22
Now
the
king
sat
in
the
winterhouse
in
the
ninth
month:
and
[there
was
a
fire]
on
the
hearth
burning
before
him.
23
And
it
came
to
pass,
[that]
when
Jehudi
had
read
three
or
four
leaves,
he
cut
it
with
the
penknife,
and
cast
[it]
into
the
fire
that
[was]
on
the
hearth,
until
all
the
roll
was
consumed
in
the
fire
that
[was]
on
the
hearth.
24
Yet
they
were
not
afraid,
nor
rent
their
garments,
[neither]
the
king,
nor
any
of
his
servants
that
heard
all
these
words.
25
Nevertheless
Elnathan
and
Delaiah
and
Gemariah
had
made
intercession
to
the
king
that
he
would
not
burn
the
roll:
but
he
would
not
hear
them.
26
But
the
king
commanded
Jerahmeel
the
son
of
Hammelech,
and
Seraiah
the
son
of
Azriel,
and
Shelemiah
the
son
of
Abdeel,
to
take
Baruch
the
scribe
and
Jeremiah
the
prophet:
but
the
LORD
hid
them.
27
Then
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
Jeremiah,
after
that
the
king
had
burned
the
roll,
and
the
words
which
Baruch
wrote
at
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah,
saying,
28
Take
thee
again
another
roll,
and
write
in
it
all
the
former
words
that
were
in
the
first
roll,
which
Jehoiakim
the
king
of
Judah
hath
burned.
29
And
thou
shalt
say
to
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah,
Thus
saith
the
LORD;
Thou
hast
burned
this
roll,
saying,
Why
hast
thou
written
therein,
saying,
The
king
of
Babylon
shall
certainly
come
and
destroy
this
land,
and
shall
cause
to
cease
from
thence
man
and
beast?
30
Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD
of
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah;
He
shall
have
none
to
sit
upon
the
throne
of
David:
and
his
dead
body
shall
be
cast
out
in
the
day
to
the
heat,
and
in
the
night
to
the
frost.
31
And
I
will
punish
him
and
his
seed
and
his
servants
for
their
iniquity;
and
I
will
bring
upon
them,
and
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
and
upon
the
men
of
Judah,
all
the
evil
that
I
have
pronounced
against
them;
but
they
hearkened
not.
32
Then
took
Jeremiah
another
roll,
and
gave
it
to
Baruch
the
scribe,
the
son
of
Neriah;
who
wrote
therein
from
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah
all
the
words
of
the
book
which
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah
had
burned
in
the
fire:
and
there
were
added
besides
unto
them
many
like
words.
