Jeremiah 36:16-26

16And it came to pass, when they heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch, We will certainly report to the king all these words.

17And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words from his mouth?

18And Baruch said unto them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote [them] with ink in the book.

19And the princes said unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; that none may know where ye are.

20And they went in unto the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.

21And the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll, and he fetched it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king.

22Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month, and with the fire-pan burning before him.

23And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four columns, he cut it with the scribe's knife, and cast it into the fire that was in the pan until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the pan.

24And they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, [neither] the king nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

25Moreover, Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll; but he would not hear them.

26And the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Jehovah hid them.
