Jeremiah 36:14-21

14all the officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to say to Baruch, “Bring the scroll from which you have read to the people and come.” So Baruch son of Neriah went to them with the scroll in his hand.

15They said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it to us.” So Baruch read it to them.

16When they heard all these words, they looked at each other in fear and said to Baruch, “We must report all these words to the king.”

17Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, how did you come to write all this? Did Jeremiah dictate it?”

18“Yes,” Baruch replied, “he dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.”

19Then the officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah, go and hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.”

20After they put the scroll in the room of Elishama the secretary, they went to the king in the courtyard and reported everything to him.

21The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and Jehudi brought it from the room of Elishama the secretary and read it to the king and all the officials standing beside him.
