Jeremiah 36:4-14

4Then JeremiahH3414 calledH7121 BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374; and BaruchH1263 wroteH3789 from the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 all the wordsH1697 of Jehovah, which he had spokenH1696 unto him, upon a roll of a bookH5612. 5And JeremiahH3414 commandedH6680 BaruchH1263, sayingH559, I am shutH6113 up; I cannot goH935 into the houseH1004 of Jehovah: 6therefore goH935 thou, and readH7121 in the roll, which thou hast writtenH3789 from my mouthH6310, the wordsH1697 of Jehovah in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 in Jehovah’s houseH1004 upon the fast-day; and alsoH1571 thou shalt readH7121 them in the earsH241 of all JudahH3063 that comeH935 out of their citiesH5892. 7It may be they will present their supplicationH8467 before Jehovah, and will returnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870; for greatH1419 is the angerH639 and the wrathH2534 that Jehovah hath pronounced against this peopleH5971. 8And BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 did according to all that JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680 him, readingH7121 in the bookH5612 the wordsH1697 of Jehovah in Jehovah’s houseH1004.

9Now it cameH935 to pass in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the ninthH8671 monthH2320, that all the peopleH5971 in JerusalemH3389, and all the peopleH5971 that cameH935 from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 unto JerusalemH3389, proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 before Jehovah. 10Then readH7121 BaruchH1263 in the bookH5612 the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, in the chamber of GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, in the upperH5945 courtH2691, at the entry of the newH2319 gateH8179 of Jehovah’s houseH1004, in the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971.

11And when MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of GemariahH1587, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, had heardH8085 out of the bookH5612 all the wordsH1697 of Jehovah, 12he wentH3381 downH3381 into the king’sH4428 houseH1004, into the scribe’s chamber: and, lo, all the princesH8269 were sittingH3427 there, to wit, ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608, and DelaiahH1806 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098, and ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907, and GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of HananiahH2608, and all the princesH8269. 13Then MicaiahH4321 declaredH5046 unto them all the wordsH1697 that he had heardH8085, whenH834 BaruchH1263 readH7121 the bookH5612 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971. 14Therefore all the princesH8269 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, the sonH1121 of Cushi, unto BaruchH1263, sayingH559, TakeH3947 in thy handH3027 the roll wherein thou hast readH7121 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971, and comeH935. So BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 tookH3947 the roll in his handH3027, and cameH935 unto them.
