Jeremiah 36:12-25

12Then he went downH3381 into the king’sH4428 houseH1004, into the scribe’sH5608 chamberH3957: and, lo, all the princesH8269 satH3427 there, even ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608, and DelaiahH1806 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098, and ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907, and GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of HananiahH2608, and all the princesH8269. 13Then MichaiahH4321 declaredH5046 to them all the wordsH1697 that he had heardH8085, when BaruchH1263 readH7121 the bookH5612 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971. 14Therefore all the princesH8269 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, the sonH1121 of CushiH3570, to BaruchH1263, sayingH559, TakeH3947 in thy handH3027 the scrollH4039 in which thou hast readH7121 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971, and comeH3212. So BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 tookH3947 the scrollH4039 in his handH3027, and cameH935 to them. 15And they saidH559 to him, Sit downH3427 now, and readH7121 it in our earsH241. So BaruchH1263 readH7121 it in their earsH241. 16Now it came to pass, when they had heardH8085 all the wordsH1697, they were afraidH6342 bothH413 oneH376 and anotherH7453, and saidH559 to BaruchH1263, We will surelyH5046 tellH5046 the kingH4428 of all these wordsH1697. 17And they askedH7592 BaruchH1263, sayingH559, TellH5046 us now, How didst thou writeH3789 all these wordsH1697 at his mouthH6310? 18Then BaruchH1263 answeredH559 them, He pronouncedH7121 all these wordsH1697 to me with his mouthH6310, and I wroteH3789 them with inkH1773 in the bookH5612. 19Then saidH559 the princesH8269 to BaruchH1263, GoH3212, hideH5641 thyself, thou and JeremiahH3414; and let no manH376 knowH3045 whereH375 ye are.

20And they went inH935 to the kingH4428 into the courtH2691, but they laid upH6485 the scrollH4039 in the chamberH3957 of ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608, and toldH5046 all the wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of the kingH4428. 21So the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 to bringH3947 the scrollH4039: and he tookH3947 it out of the chamberH3957 of ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608. And JehudiH3065 readH7121 it in the earsH241 of the kingH4428, and in the earsH241 of all the princesH8269 who stoodH5975 besideH5921 the kingH4428. 22Now the kingH4428 satH3427 in the winterhouseH1004H2779 in the ninthH8671 monthH2320: and there was a fire on the hearthH254 burningH1197 beforeH6440 him. 23And it came to pass, that when JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 leavesH1817, he cutH7167 it with the scribe’s penknifeH8593H5608, 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 toreH7167 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 scrollH4039: but he would not hearH8085 them.
