Jeremiah 36:14-21

14Then all the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah, the grandson of Shelemiah, and the great-grandson of Cushi, to Baruch. Jehudi said to Baruch, “Bring the scroll that you read publicly, and come with me.” Baruch, son of Neriah, took the scroll and went with him to see the officers.

15They said to Baruch, “Please sit down, and read it to us.” So Baruch read it to them.

16When they heard everything, they turned to each other in terror. They said to Baruch, “We must tell the king everything.”

17Then they asked Baruch, “Please tell us how you wrote all this. Did Jeremiah dictate it to you?”

18Baruch answered, “He dictated everything to me, and I wrote it on the scroll in ink.”

19The officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.”

20After they put the scroll in the side room of the scribe Elishama, they went to the king in the courtyard and told him everything.

21Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. He took the scroll from the side room of the scribe Elishama. Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials standing by the king.
