Jeremiah 36:9-19

9Now in the 1fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the 2ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who 3came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem proclaimed a 4fast before the Lord. 10Then Baruch read from the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord in the 5chamber of 6Gemariah the son of Shaphan the 7scribe, in the upper court, at the 8entry of the New Gate of the Lord’s house, to all the people.

11Now when 9Micaiah 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--10Elishama the scribe, and 11Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and 12Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the other officials. 13Micaiah 13declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the book to the people. 14Then all the officials sent 14Jehudi 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 15took the scroll in his hand and went to them. 15They said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it to us.” So Baruch 16read it to them. 16When they had heard all the words, they turned in 17fear one to another and said to Baruch, “We will surely 18report all these words to the king.” 17And they asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us, please, 19how did you write all these words? Was it 20at his dictation?” 18Then Baruch said to them, “He 21dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink on the book.” 19Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go, 22hide yourself, you and Jeremiah, and do not let anyone know where you are.”
