Jeremiah 36:23-32
23AndH1961 as soon as JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 columnsH1817, Jehoiakim would cutH7167 them off with a scribe’sH5608 knifeH8593 and throwH7993 them intoH413 the firepotH254H784, untilH5704 the entireH3605 scrollH4039 had been consumedH8552 byH5921 the fireH784.
24Yet in hearingH8085 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697, the kingH4428 andH3605 his servantsH5650 did notH3808 become frightenedH6342H3808 or tearH7167 their garmentsH899. 25Even thoughH1571 ElnathanH494, DelaiahH1806, and GemariahH1587 urgedH6293 the kingH4428 notH1115 to burnH8313 the scrollH4039, he would notH3808 listenH8085 to themH413. 26Instead, the kingH4428 commandedH6680 JerahmeelH3396, a sonH1121 of the kingH4428, as well asH853 SeraiahH8304 sonH1121 of AzrielH5837 and ShelemiahH8018 sonH1121 of AbdeelH5655, to seizeH3947 BaruchH1263 the scribeH5608 and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030. But the LORDH3068 had hidden themH5641.
27AfterH310 the kingH4428 had burnedH8313 the scrollH4039 containing the wordsH1697 thatH834 BaruchH1263 had writtenH3789 at Jeremiah’sH3414 dictationH6310, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 toH413 JeremiahH3414: 28“TakeH3947 anotherH312 scrollH4039 andH7725 rewriteH3789 on itH5921 the very wordsH3605H1697 thatH834 wereH1961 onH5921 the originalH7223 scrollH4039, whichH834 JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 has burnedH8313.
29You are to proclaimH559 concerningH5921 JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: YouH859 have burnedH8313 theH2063 scrollH4039 and saidH559, ‘WhyH4069 have you writtenH3789 on itH5921 thatH559 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 would surely comeH935 and destroyH7843 thisH2063 landH776 and deprive itH7673 ofH4480 manH120 and beastH929?’
30ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559 aboutH5921 JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063: He will haveH1961 noH3808 one to sitH3427 onH5921 David’sH1732 throneH3678, and his bodyH5038 will beH1961 thrown outH7993 and exposed to heatH2721 by dayH3117 and frostH7140 by nightH3915. 31I will punishH6485 himH5921 andH5921 his descendantsH2233H5921 and servantsH5650 for their iniquityH5771. I will bringH935 on themH5921, onH5921 the residentsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and onH413 the menH376 of JudahH3063, allH3605 the calamityH7451 about whichH834 I warned themH1696H413 but they did notH3808 listenH8085.”
32Then JeremiahH3414 tookH3947 anotherH312 scrollH4039 and gaveH5414 it toH413 the scribeH5608 BaruchH1263 sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, and at Jeremiah’sH3414 dictationH6310 he wroteH3789 on itH5921 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the scrollH5612 thatH834 JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had burnedH8313 in the fireH784. And manyH7227 similarH5750 wordsH1697 were addedH3254 to themH5921.
