Jeremiah 36:4-14

4So JeremiahH3414 calledH7121 BaruchH1263 sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, and at the dictationH6310 of JeremiahH3414, BaruchH1263 wroteH3789 onH5921 a scrollH4039H5612 allH3605 the wordsH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 to JeremiahH413.

5Then JeremiahH3414 commandedH6680 BaruchH1263H559, “IH589 am restrictedH6113; I cannotH3808H3201 enterH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; 6so youH859 are to goH935 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 on a dayH3117 of fastingH6685, and in the hearingH241 of the peopleH5971 you are to readH7121 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 from the scrollH4039 you have writtenH3789 at my dictationH6310. Read themH7121 in the hearingH241 of allH3605 the people of JudahH3063 who are comingH935 from their citiesH5892.

7PerhapsH194 they will bringH5307 their petitionH8467 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and eachH376 one will turnH7725 from his wickedH7451 wayH1870; forH3588 great areH1419 the angerH639 and furyH2534 thatH834 the LORDH3068 has pronouncedH1696 againstH413 thisH2088 peopleH5971.”

8So BaruchH1263 sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 didH6213 everythingH3605 thatH834 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 had commanded himH6680. In the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 he readH7121 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 from the scrollH5612.

9NowH1961 in the ninthH8671 monthH2320 of the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, a fastH6685 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 was proclaimedH7121 to allH3605 the peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 and allH3605H5971 who had comeH935 there from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063. 10From the chamberH3957 of GemariahH1587 sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, which was in the upperH5945 courtyardH2691 at the openingH6607 of the NewH2319 GateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, BaruchH1263 readH7121 from the scrollH5612 the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414 in the hearingH241 of allH3605 the peopleH5971.

11When MicaiahH4321 sonH1121 of GemariahH1587, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, heardH8085 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 fromH5921 the scrollH5612, 12he went downH3381 toH5921 the scribe’sH5608H2009 chamberH3957 in the king’sH4428 palaceH1004, whereH8033 allH3605 the officialsH8269 were sittingH3427: ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608, DelaiahH1806 sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098, ElnathanH494 sonH1121 of AchborH5907, GemariahH1587 sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, ZedekiahH6667 sonH1121 of HananiahH2608, and allH3605 the other officialsH8269. 13And MicaiahH4321 reportedH5046 to them allH3605 the wordsH1697 he had heardH8085 BaruchH1263 readH7121 from the scrollH5612 in the hearingH241 of the peopleH5971.

14Then allH3605 the officialsH8269 sentH7971 word toH413 BaruchH1263 through JehudiH3065 sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, the sonH1121 of CushiH3570, sayingH559, “BringH3947H3027 the scrollH4039 thatH834 you readH7121 in the hearingH241 of the peopleH5971, and comeH1980 here.”

So BaruchH1263 sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 tookH3947H3027 the scrollH4039 and wentH935 to themH413.
