Jeremiah 36:20-32

20So they wentH935 to the 1kingH4428 in the courtH2691, but they had depositedH6485 the scrollH4039 in the chamberH3957 of 2ElishamaH476 the scribeH5613, and they reportedH5046H241 allH3605 the wordsH1697 to the kingH4428. 21Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 to getH3947 the scrollH4039, and he tookH3947 it out of the chamberH3957 of ElishamaH476 the scribeH5613. And JehudiH3065 3readH7121 it to the kingH4428 as well as to allH3605 the officialsH8269 who stoodH5975 besideH4480H5921 the kingH4428. 22Now the kingH4428 was sittingH3427 in the 4winterH2779 houseH1004 in the 5ninthH8671 monthH2320, with a fire burningH1197 in the brazierH254 beforeH6440 him. 23When JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 columnsH1817, the king cutH7167 it with a scribe’sH5613 knifeH8593 and 6threwH7993 it into the fireH784 that was in the brazierH254, untilH5704 allH3605 the scrollH4039 was consumedH8552 in the fireH784 that was in the brazierH254. 24Yet the kingH4428 and allH3605 his servantsH5650 who heardH8085 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 were 7not afraidH6342, norH3808 did they 8rendH7167 their garmentsH899. 25Even thoughH1571 ElnathanH494 and DelaiahH1806 and GemariahH1587 9pleadedH6293 with the kingH4428 not to burnH8313 the scrollH4039, he would not listenH8085 to them. 26And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 JerahmeelH3396 the king’sH4428 sonH1121, SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of AzrielH5837, and ShelemiahH8018 the sonH1121 of AbdeelH5655 to 10seizeH3947 BaruchH1263 the scribeH5613 and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, but the 11LordH3068 hidH5641 them.

27Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 afterH310 the kingH4428 had 12burnedH8313 the scrollH4039 and the wordsH1697 whichH834 13BaruchH1263 had writtenH3789 at the dictationH6310 of JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 28“14TakeH3947 againH7725 anotherH312 scrollH4039 and writeH3789 on it allH3605 the formerH7223 wordsH1697 that were 15on the firstH7223 scrollH4039 whichH834 JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 burnedH8313. 29And concerningH5921 JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 you shall sayH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “You have 16burnedH8313 thisH2088 scrollH4039, sayingH559, ‘17WhyH4069 have you writtenH3789 on it 18that the 19kingH4428 of BabylonH894 will certainlyH935 comeH935 and destroyH7843 thisH2088 landH776, and will make manH120 and beastH929 to ceaseH7673 from it?’” 30ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 concerningH5921 JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, “He shall haveH1961 20noH3808 one to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and his 21deadH5038 bodyH5038 shall be castH7993 out to the heatH2721 of the dayH3117 and the frostH7140 of the nightH3915. 31I will also 22punishH6485 him and his 23descendantsH2233 and his servantsH5650 for their iniquityH5771, and I will 24bringH935 on them and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 and the menH376 of JudahH3063 allH3605 the calamityH7463 that I have declaredH1696 to them--but they did not listenH8085.”’”

32Then JeremiahH3414 tookH3947 anotherH312 scrollH4039 and gaveH5414 it to BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, the scribeH5613, and he 25wroteH3789 on it at the dictationH6310 of JeremiahH3414 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 whichH834 JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had burnedH8313 in the fireH784; and manyH7227 26similar wordsH1697 were addedH3254 to them.
