Jeremiah 36:23-32

23And it came to pass, that when JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 leavesH1817, he cutH7167 it with the penknifeH5608H8593, and castH7993 it into the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254, until all the rollH4039 was consumedH8552 in the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254. 24Yet they were not afraidH6342, nor rentH7167 their garmentsH899, neither the kingH4428, nor any of his servantsH5650 that heardH8085 all these wordsH1697. 25Nevertheless ElnathanH494 and DelaiahH1806 and GemariahH1587 had made intercessionH6293 to the kingH4428 that he would not burnH8313 the rollH4039: but he would not hearH8085 them. 26But the kingH4428 commandedH6680 JerahmeelH3396 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4429, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of AzrielH5837, and ShelemiahH8018 the sonH1121 of AbdeelH5655, to takeH3947 BaruchH1263 the scribeH5608 and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030: But YhwhH3068 hidH5641 them.1

27Then the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came to JeremiahH3414, afterH310 that the kingH4428 had burnedH8313 the rollH4039, and the wordsH1697 which BaruchH1263 wroteH3789 at the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 28TakeH3947 thee againH7725 anotherH312 rollH4039, and writeH3789 in it all the formerH7223 wordsH1697 that were in the firstH7223 rollH4039, which JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath burnedH8313. 29And thou shalt sayH559 to JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; Thou hast burnedH8313 this rollH4039, sayingH559, Why hast thou writtenH3789 therein, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall certainlyH935 comeH935 and destroyH7843 this landH776, and shall cause to ceaseH7673 from thence manH120 and beastH929? 30Therefore thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; He shall have none to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732: and his dead bodyH5038 shall be cast outH7993 in the dayH3117 to the heatH2721, and in the nightH3915 to the frostH7140. 31And I will punishH6485 him and his seedH2233 and his servantsH5650 for their iniquityH5771; and I will bringH935 upon them, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and upon the menH376 of JudahH3063, all the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 against them; but they hearkenedH8085 not.2

32Then tookH3947 JeremiahH3414 anotherH312 rollH4039, and gaveH5414 it to BaruchH1263 the scribeH5608, the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374; who wroteH3789 therein from the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 which JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had burnedH8313 in the fireH784: and there were addedH3254 besides unto them manyH7227 likeH1992 wordsH1697.3
