Jeremiah 36
36In the fourth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:H7243H8141H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H1697H3414H3068H5592Take a scroll and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah and all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah until today.H3947H4039H5612H3789H1697H1696H3478H3063H1471H3117H1696H3117H2977H31173It may be that when the house of Judah hears of all the disasters that I intend to do to them, all of them may turn from their evil ways, so that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.H1004H3063H8085H7451H2803H6213H7725H376H7451H1870H5545H5771H24034Then Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote on a scroll at Jeremiah's dictation all the words of the LORD that he had spoken to him.H3414H7121H1263H1121H5374H1263H3789H6310H3414H1697H3068H1696H4039H56125And Jeremiah ordered Baruch, saying, "I am prevented from entering the house of the LORD;H3414H6680H1263H559H6113H3201H935H1004H30686so you go yourself, and on a fast day in the hearing of the people in the LORD's house you shall read the words of the LORD from the scroll that you have written at my dictation. You shall read them also in the hearing of all the people of Judah who come up from their towns.H935H7121H4039H3789H6310H1697H3068H241H5971H3068H1004H6685H3117H7121H241H3063H935H58927It may be that their plea will come before the LORD, and that all of them will turn from their evil ways, for great is the anger and wrath that the LORD has pronounced against this people."H5307H8467H6440H3068H7725H376H7451H1870H1419H639H2534H3068H1696H59718And Baruch son of Neriah did all that the prophet Jeremiah ordered him about reading from the scroll the words of the LORD in the LORD's house.H1263H1121H5374H6213H3414H5030H6680H7121H5612H1697H3068H3068H10049In the fifth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem proclaimed a fast before the LORD.H2549H8141H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H8671H2320H7121H6685H6440H3068H5971H3389H5971H935H5892H3063H338910Then, in the hearing of all the people, Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the scroll, in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the secretary, which was in the upper court, at the entry of the New Gate of the LORD's house.H7121H1263H5612H1697H3414H1004H3068H3957H1587H1121H8227H5608H5945H2691H6607H2319H8179H3068H1004H241H597111When Micaiah son of Gemariah son of Shaphan heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll,H4321H1121H1587H1121H8227H8085H5612H1697H306812he went down to the king's house, into the secretary's chamber; and all the officials were sitting there: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the officials.H3381H4428H1004H5608H3957H8269H3427H476H5608H1806H1121H8098H494H1121H5907H1587H1121H8227H6667H1121H2608H826913And Micaiah told them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the scroll in the hearing of the people.H4321H5046H1697H8085H1263H7121H5612H241H597114Then all the officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi to say to Baruch, "Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come." So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them.H8269H7971H3065H1121H5418H1121H8018H1121H3570H1263H559H3947H3027H4039H7121H241H5971H3212H1263H1121H5374H3947H4039H3027H93515And they said to him, "Sit down and read it to us." So Baruch read it to them.H559H3427H7121H241H1263H7121H24116When they heard all the words, they turned to one another in alarm, and said to Baruch, "We certainly must report all these words to the king."H8085H1697H6342H413H376H7453H559H1263H5046H5046H4428H169717Then they questioned Baruch, "Tell us now, how did you write all these words? Was it at his dictation?"H7592H1263H559H5046H3789H1697H631018Baruch answered them, "He dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink on the scroll."H1263H559H7121H1697H6310H3789H1773H561219Then the officials said to Baruch, "Go and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are."H559H8269H1263H3212H5641H3414H376H3045H37520Leaving the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the secretary, they went to the court of the king; and they reported all the words to the king.H935H4428H2691H6485H4039H3957H476H5608H5046H1697H241H442821Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the secretary; and Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who stood beside the king.H4428H7971H3065H3947H4039H3947H476H5608H3957H3065H7121H241H4428H241H8269H5975H5921H442822Now the king was sitting in his winter apartment (it was the ninth month), and there was a fire burning in the brazier before him.H4428H3427H1004H2779H8671H2320H254H1197H644023As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a penknife and throw them into the fire in the brazier, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.H3065H7121H7969H702H1817H7167H8593H5608H7993H784H254H4039H8552H784H25424Yet neither the king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words, was alarmed, nor did they tear their garments.H6342H7167H899H4428H5650H8085H169725Even when Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.H494H1806H1587H6293H4428H8313H4039H808526And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son and Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest the secretary Baruch and the prophet Jeremiah. But the LORD hid them.H4428H6680H3396H1121H4429H8304H1121H5837H8018H1121H5655H3947H1263H5608H3414H5030H3068H564127Now, after the king had burned the scroll with the words that Baruch wrote at Jeremiah's dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:H1697H3068H3414H310H4428H8313H4039H1697H1263H3789H6310H3414H55928Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which King Jehoiakim of Judah has burned.H3947H7725H312H4039H3789H7223H1697H7223H4039H3079H4428H3063H831329And concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah you shall say: Thus says the LORD, You have dared to burn this scroll, saying, Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cut off from it human beings and animals?H559H3079H4428H3063H559H3068H8313H4039H559H3789H559H4428H894H935H935H7843H776H7673H120H92930Therefore thus says the LORD concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah: He shall have no one to sit upon the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day and the frost by night.H559H3068H3079H4428H3063H3427H3678H1732H5038H7993H3117H2721H3915H714031And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity; I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the people of Judah, all the disasters with which I have threatened them—but they would not listen.H6485H2233H5650H5771H935H3427H3389H376H3063H7451H1696H808532Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the secretary Baruch son of Neriah, who wrote on it at Jeremiah's dictation all the words of the scroll that King Jehoiakim of Judah had burned in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.H3947H3414H312H4039H5414H1263H5608H1121H5374H3789H6310H3414H1697H5612H3079H4428H3063H8313H784H3254H7227H1992H1697
