Jeremiah 36:1-26

And it came to pass in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
[that] this word
<01697>
came unto Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
thee a roll
<04039>
of a book
<05612>_,
and write
<03789> (8804)
therein all the words
<01697>
that I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto thee against Israel
<03478>_,
and against Judah
<03063>_,
and against all the nations
<01471>_,
from the day
<03117>
I spake
<01696> (8765)
unto thee, from the days
<03117>
of Josiah
<02977>_,
even unto this day
<03117>_.
It may be that the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
will hear
<08085> (8799)
all the evil
<07451>
which I purpose
<02803> (8802)
to do
<06213> (8800)
unto them; that they may return
<07725> (8799)
every man
<0376>
from his evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_;
that I may forgive
<05545> (8804)
their iniquity
<05771>
and their sin
<02403>_.
Then Jeremiah
<03414>
called
<07121> (8799)
Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_:
and Baruch
<01263>
wrote
<03789> (8799)
from the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
all the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he had spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto him, upon a roll
<04039>
of a book
<05612>_.
And Jeremiah
<03414>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Baruch
<01263>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I [am] shut up
<06113> (8803)_;
I cannot
<03201> (8799)
go
<0935> (8800)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
Therefore go
<0935> (8804)
thou, and read
<07121> (8804)
in the roll
<04039>_,
which thou hast written
<03789> (8804)
from my mouth
<06310>_,
the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>
in the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>
upon the fasting
<06685>
day
<03117>_:
and also thou shalt read
<07121> (8799)
them in the ears
<0241>
of all Judah
<03063>
that come out
<0935> (8802)
of their cities
<05892>_.
It may be they will present
<05307> (8799)
their supplication
<08467>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and will return
<07725> (8799)
every one
<0376>
from his evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_:
for great
<01419>
[is] the anger
<0639>
and the fury
<02534>
that the LORD
<03068>
hath pronounced
<01696> (8765)
against this people
<05971>_.
{they...: Heb. their supplication shall fail}
And Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>
did
<06213> (8799)
according to all that Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
him, reading
<07121> (8800)
in the book
<05612>
the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
in the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_.
And it came to pass in the fifth
<02549>
year
<08141>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
in the ninth
<08671>
month
<02320>_,
[that] they proclaimed
<07121> (8804)
a fast
<06685>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
to all the people
<05971>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and to all the people
<05971>
that came
<0935> (8802)
from the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
unto Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Then read
<07121> (8799)
Baruch
<01263>
in the book
<05612>
the words
<01697>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
in the chamber
<03957>
of Gemariah
<01587>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
in the higher
<05945>
court
<02691>_,
at the entry
<06607>
of the new
<02319>
gate
<08179>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_,
in the ears
<0241>
of all the people
<05971>_.
{entry: or, door}
When Michaiah
<04321>
the son
<01121>
of Gemariah
<01587>_,
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
had heard
<08085> (8799)
out of the book
<05612>
all the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
Then he went down
<03381> (8799)
into the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
into the scribe's
<05608> (8802)
chamber
<03957>_:
and, lo, all the princes
<08269>
sat
<03427> (8802)
there, [even] Elishama
<0476>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and Delaiah
<01806>
the son
<01121>
of Shemaiah
<08098>_,
and Elnathan
<0494>
the son
<01121>
of Achbor
<05907>_,
and Gemariah
<01587>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
and Zedekiah
<06667>
the son
<01121>
of Hananiah
<02608>_,
and all the princes
<08269>_.
Then Michaiah
<04321>
declared
<05046> (8686)
unto them all the words
<01697>
that he had heard
<08085> (8804)_,
when Baruch
<01263>
read
<07121> (8800)
the book
<05612>
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>_.
Therefore all the princes
<08269>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Jehudi
<03065>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
the son
<01121>
of Shelemiah
<08018>_,
the son
<01121>
of Cushi
<03570>_,
unto Baruch
<01263>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
in thine hand
<03027>
the roll
<04039>
wherein thou hast read
<07121> (8804)
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>_,
and come
<03212> (8798)_.
So Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>
took
<03947> (8799)
the roll
<04039>
in his hand
<03027>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
unto them.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Sit down
<03427> (8798)
now, and read
<07121> (8798)
it in our ears
<0241>_.
So Baruch
<01263>
read
<07121> (8799)
[it] in their ears
<0241>_.
Now it came to pass, when they had heard
<08085> (8800)
all the words
<01697>_,
they were afraid
<06342> (8804)
both
<0413>
one
<0376>
and other
<07453>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Baruch
<01263>_,
We will surely
<05046> (8687)
tell
<05046> (8686)
the king
<04428>
of all these words
<01697>_.
And they asked
<07592> (8804)
Baruch
<01263>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Tell
<05046> (8685)
us now, How didst thou write
<03789> (8804)
all these words
<01697>
at his mouth
<06310>_?
Then Baruch
<01263>
answered
<0559> (8799)
them, He pronounced
<07121> (8799)
all these words
<01697>
unto me with his mouth
<06310>_,
and I wrote
<03789> (8802)
[them] with ink
<01773>
in the book
<05612>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the princes
<08269>
unto Baruch
<01263>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
hide
<05641> (8734)
thee, thou and Jeremiah
<03414>_;
and let no man
<0376>
know
<03045> (8799)
where
<0375>
ye be.
And they went in
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
into the court
<02691>_,
but they laid up
<06485> (8689)
the roll
<04039>
in the chamber
<03957>
of Elishama
<0476>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
all the words
<01697>
in the ears
<0241>
of the king
<04428>_.
So the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Jehudi
<03065>
to fetch
<03947> (8800)
the roll
<04039>_:
and he took
<03947> (8799)
it out of Elishama
<0476>
the scribe's
<05608> (8802)
chamber
<03957>_.
And Jehudi
<03065>
read
<07121> (8799)
it in the ears
<0241>
of the king
<04428>_,
and in the ears
<0241>
of all the princes
<08269>
which stood
<05975> (8802)
beside
<05921>
the king
<04428>_.
Now the king
<04428>
sat
<03427> (8802)
in the winterhouse
<01004> <02779>
in the ninth
<08671>
month
<02320>_:
and [there was a fire] on the hearth
<0254>
burning
<01197> (8794)
before
<06440>
him.
And it came to pass, [that] when Jehudi
<03065>
had read
<07121> (8800)
three
<07969>
or four
<0702>
leaves
<01817>_,
he cut
<07167> (8799)
it with the penknife
<08593> <05608> (8802)_,
and cast
<07993> (8687)
[it] into the fire
<0784>
that [was] on the hearth
<0254>_,
until all the roll
<04039>
was consumed
<08552> (8800)
in the fire
<0784>
that [was] on the hearth
<0254>_.
Yet they were not afraid
<06342> (8804)_,
nor rent
<07167> (8804)
their garments
<0899>_,
[neither] the king
<04428>_,
nor any of his servants
<05650>
that heard
<08085> (8802)
all these words
<01697>_.
Nevertheless Elnathan
<0494>
and Delaiah
<01806>
and Gemariah
<01587>
had made intercession
<06293> (8689)
to the king
<04428>
that he would not burn
<08313> (8800)
the roll
<04039>_:
but he would not hear
<08085> (8804)
them.
But the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Jerahmeel
<03396>
the son
<01121>
of Hammelech
<04429>_,
and Seraiah
<08304>
the son
<01121>
of Azriel
<05837>_,
and Shelemiah
<08018>
the son
<01121>
of Abdeel
<05655>_,
to take
<03947> (8800)
Baruch
<01263>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)
and Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
hid
<05641> (8686)
them. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
