Jeremiah 36:12-25

12he wentH3381 downH3381 to the king’sH4428 houseH1004, into the scribe’sH5613 chamberH3957. And beholdH2009, allH3605 the officialsH8269 were sittingH3427 thereH8033--1ElishamaH476 the scribeH5613, 2DelaiahH1806 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098, 3ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907, GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of HananiahH2608, and allH3605 the other officialsH8269. 13And MicaiahH4321 4declaredH5046 to them allH3605 the wordsH1697 that he had heardH8085 when BaruchH1263 readH7121 from the bookH5612 to the peopleH5971. 14Then allH3605 the officialsH8269 sentH7971 5JehudiH3065 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, who was the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, the sonH1121 of CushiH3570, to BaruchH1263, sayingH559, “TakeH3947 in your handH3027 the scrollH4039 from whichH834 you have readH7121 to the peopleH5971 and comeH1980.” So BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 6tookH3947 the scrollH4039 in his handH3027 and cameH935 to them. 15And they saidH559 to him, “SitH3427 downH3427, pleaseH4994, and readH7121 it to us.” So BaruchH1263 7readH7121 it to them. 16When they had heardH8085 allH3605 the wordsH1697, they turnedH6342 inH6342 8fearH6342 oneH376 to anotherH7453. And they saidH559 to BaruchH1263, “We will certainlyH5046 9reportH5046 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to the kingH4428.” 17Then they askedH7592 BaruchH1263, sayingH559, “TellH5046 us, pleaseH4994, 10howH349 did you writeH3789 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697? Was it 11at Jeremiah’s dictationH6310?” 18And BaruchH1263 saidH559 to them, “He 12dictatedH4480H6310H7121 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to me, and I wroteH3789 them with inkH1773 on the bookH5612.” 19Then the officialsH8269 saidH559 to BaruchH1263, “GoH1980, 13hideH5641 yourself, you and JeremiahH3414, and do not let anyone knowH3045 whereH375 you are.”

20So they cameH935 to the 14kingH4428 in the courtyardH2691, but they had depositedH6485 the scrollH4039 in the chamberH3957 of 15ElishamaH476 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 16readH7121 it to the kingH4428 as well as to allH3605 the officialsH8269 who were standingH5975 besideH4480H5921 the kingH4428. 22Now the kingH4428 was sittingH3427 in the 17winterH2779 houseH1004 in the 18ninthH8671 monthH2320, with a fire burningH1197 in the brazierH254 beforeH6440 him. 23And when JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 columnsH1817, the king cutH7167 it with a scribe’sH5613 knifeH8593 and 19threwH7993 it into the fireH784 that was in the brazierH254, untilH5704 allH3605 of the scrollH4039 was consumedH8552 in the fireH784 that was in the brazierH254. 24Yet the kingH4428 and allH3605 his servantsH5650 who heardH8085 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 did 20not trembleH6342 inH6342 fearH6342, norH3808 did they 21tearH7167 their garmentsH899. 25Even thoughH1571 ElnathanH494, DelaiahH1806, and GemariahH1587 22urgedH6293 the kingH4428 not to burnH8313 the scrollH4039, he would not listenH8085 to them.
