Context of Jeremiah 36:15

13Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard when Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people. 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. They 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?”
