Jeremiah 36:16-26

16Now it came to pass, when they had heardH8085 all the wordsH1697, they turned in fearH6342 oneH376 toward another, and saidH559 unto BaruchH1263, We will surely tellH5046 the kingH4428 of all these wordsH1697. 17And they askedH7592 BaruchH1263, sayingH559, TellH5046 us now, HowH349 didst thou writeH3789 all these wordsH1697 at his mouthH6310? 18Then BaruchH1263 answered them, He pronounced all these wordsH1697 unto me with his mouthH6310, and I wroteH3789 them with ink in the bookH5612. 19Then saidH559 the princesH8269 unto BaruchH1263, Go, hideH5641 thee, thou and JeremiahH3414; and let no manH376 knowH3045 whereH375 ye are.

20And they wentH935 in to the kingH4428 into the courtH2691; but they had laid up the roll in the chamber of ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608; and they toldH5046 all the wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of the kingH4428. 21So the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 to fetch the roll; and he tookH3947 it out of the chamber of ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608. And JehudiH3065 readH7121 it in the earsH241 of the kingH4428, and in the earsH241 of all the princesH8269 that stoodH5975 beside the kingH4428. 22Now the kingH4428 was sittingH3427 in the winter-house in the ninthH8671 monthH2320: and there was a fire in the brazier burningH1197 before him. 23And it came to pass, when JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 leaves, that the king cut it with the penknife, and castH7993 it into the fireH784 that wasH1961 in the brazier, until all the roll wasH1961 consumed in the fireH784 that wasH1961 in the brazier. 24And they were not afraidH6342, nor rent their garmentsH899, neither the kingH4428, nor any of his servantsH5650 that heardH8085 all these wordsH1697. 25Moreover ElnathanH494 and DelaiahH1806 and GemariahH1587 had madeH8085 intercession to the kingH4428 that he would not burnH8313 the roll; but he would not hearH8085 them. 26And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 JerahmeelH3396 the king’sH4428 sonH1121, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of AzrielH5837, and ShelemiahH8018 the sonH1121 of Abdeel, to takeH3947 BaruchH1263 the scribeH5608 and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030; but Jehovah hidH5641 them.
