JEREMIAH 36

1 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came
to Jeremiah from the Lord:

2 “Take a scroll and write on it all the words I
have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah and all the other nations from the
time I began speaking to you in the reign of Josiah till now.

3 Perhaps when
the people of Judah hear about every disaster I plan to inflict on them, they
will each turn from their wicked ways; then I will forgive their wickedness
and their sin.”

4 So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and while Jeremiah dictated all the
words the Lord had spoken to him, Baruch wrote them on the scroll.

5 Then
Jeremiah told Baruch, “I am restricted; I am not allowed to go to the Lord’s
temple.

6 So you go to the house of the Lord on a day of fasting and read to
the people from the scroll the words of the Lord that you wrote as I dictated.
Read them to all the people of Judah who come in from their towns.

7 Perhaps
they will bring their petition before the Lord and will each turn from their
wicked ways, for the anger and wrath pronounced against this people by the
Lord are great.”

8 Baruch son of Neriah did everything Jeremiah the prophet told him to do; at
the Lord’s temple he read the words of the Lord from the scroll.

9 In the
ninth month of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, a time
of fasting before the Lord was proclaimed for all the people in Jerusalem and
those who had come from the towns of Judah.

10 From the room of Gemariah son
of Shaphan the secretary, which was in the upper courtyard at the entrance of
the New Gate of the temple, Baruch read to all the people at the Lord’s temple
the words of Jeremiah from the scroll.

11 When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of
the Lord from the scroll,

12 he went down to the secretary’s room in the royal
palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah
son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Akbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son
of Hananiah, and all the other officials.

13 After Micaiah told them
everything he had heard Baruch read to the people from the scroll,

14 all 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.

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

16 When 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.”

17 Then 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.”

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

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

21 The 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.

22 It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in the winter apartment,
with a fire burning in the firepot in front of him.

23 Whenever Jehudi had
read three or four columns of the scroll, the king cut them off with a
scribe’s knife and threw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll was
burned in the fire.

24 The king and all his attendants who heard all these
words showed no fear, nor did they tear their clothes.

25 Even though
Elnathan, Delaiah and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would
not listen to them.

26 Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the
king, Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch the
scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the Lord had hidden them.
