Jeremiah 36:11-20

11Now when 1Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord from the book, 12he went down to the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber. And behold, all the officials were sitting there--2Elishama the scribe, and 3Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and 4Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the other officials. 13Micaiah 5declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the book to the people. 14Then all the officials sent 6Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll from which you have read to the people and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah 7took the scroll in his hand and went to them. 15They said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it to us.” So Baruch 8read it to them. 16When they had heard all the words, they turned in 9fear one to another and said to Baruch, “We will surely 10report all these words to the king.” 17And they asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us, please, 11how did you write all these words? Was it 12at his dictation?” 18Then Baruch said to them, “He 13dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink on the book.” 19Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go, 14hide yourself, you and Jeremiah, and do not let anyone know where you are.”

20So they went to the 15king in the court, but they had deposited the scroll in the chamber of 16Elishama the scribe, and they reported all the words to the king.
