14Then allH3605 the officialsH8269 sentH7971 1JehudiH3065 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 2tookH3947 the scrollH4039 in his handH3027 and cameH935 to them. 15And they saidH559 to him, “SitH3427 downH3427, pleaseH4994, and readH7121 it to us.” So BaruchH1263 3readH7121 it to them. 16When they had heardH8085 allH3605 the wordsH1697, they turnedH6342 inH6342 4fearH6342 oneH376 to anotherH7453. And they saidH559 to BaruchH1263, “We will certainlyH5046 5reportH5046 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to the kingH4428.” 17Then they askedH7592 BaruchH1263, sayingH559, “TellH5046 us, pleaseH4994, 6howH349 did you writeH3789 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697? Was it 7at Jeremiah’s dictationH6310?” 18And BaruchH1263 saidH559 to them, “He 8dictatedH4480H6310H7121 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to me, and I wroteH3789 them with inkH1773 on the bookH5612.” 19Then the officialsH8269 saidH559 to BaruchH1263, “GoH1980, 9hideH5641 yourself, you and JeremiahH3414, and do not let anyone knowH3045 whereH375 you are.”

20So they cameH935 to the 10kingH4428 in the courtyardH2691, but they had depositedH6485 the scrollH4039 in the chamberH3957 of 11ElishamaH476 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 12readH7121 it to the kingH4428 as well as to allH3605 the officialsH8269 who were standingH5975 besideH4480H5921 the kingH4428.
