Jeremiah 36:14-21

14Then all the officials sent word to Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, “Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them.

15They said to him, “Sit down and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.

16When they had heard all the words, they turned to each other in fear and said to Baruch, “We must surely tell the king all these things.”

17Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, how did you write all these words? At his dictation?”

18Baruch said to them, “At his dictation. He recited all these words to me while I was writing on the scroll in ink.”

19The officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must hide and tell no one where you are.”

20Then, after depositing the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, the officials came to the king at the courtyard and reported everything in the hearing of the king.

21The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi then read it in the hearing of the king and all the officials who were standing by the king.
