Jeremiah’s Scroll Read in the Temple

36In the fourth year of the reign of Josiah's son King Jehoiakim of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord:H7243H8141H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H1697H3414H3068H559
2"Take a scroll and write on it all the words that I've spoken to you about Israel, about Judah, and about all the nations, since I first spoke to you in the time of Josiah until the present time.H3947H4039H5612H3789H1697H1696H3478H3063H1471H3117H1696H3117H2977H3117
3Perhaps the house of Judah will hear about all the calamity that I'm planning to bring on them, and so each of them will turn from his wicked way and I'll forgive their iniquities and sins."H1004H3063H8085H7451H2803H6213H7725H376H7451H1870H5545H5771H2403
4Jeremiah summoned Neriah's son Baruch and at Jeremiah's dictation, Baruch wrote on the scroll all the words of the Lord that he had spoken to him.H3414H7121H1263H1121H5374H1263H3789H6310H3414H1697H3068H1696H4039H5612
5Jeremiah instructed Baruch, "I'm confined and can't go to the LORD's temple.H3414H6680H1263H559H6113H3201H935H1004H3068
6You go and read the words of the Lord that you wrote at my dictation from the scroll. Read them to the people at the LORD's temple on the fast day. Also read them to all the people of Judah who are coming from their towns.H935H7121H4039H3789H6310H1697H3068H241H5971H3068H1004H6685H3117H7121H241H3063H935H5892
7Perhaps their pleas for help will come to the Lord's attention, and each of them will turn from his evil lifestyle in light of the great anger and wrath that the Lord has declared against this people."H5307H8467H6440H3068H7725H376H7451H1870H1419H639H2534H3068H1696H5971
8So Neriah's son Baruch did just as Jeremiah the prophet instructed him, reading the words of the Lord from the scroll at the LORD's temple.H1263H1121H5374H6213H3414H5030H6680H7121H5612H1697H3068H3068H1004
9In the ninth month of the fifth year of the reign of Josiah's son Jehoiakim, king of Judah, a fast was proclaimed in the Lord's presence in Jerusalem for all the people of Jerusalem, as well as all the people who were coming from the towns of Judah.H2549H8141H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H8671H2320H7121H6685H6440H3068H5971H3389H5971H935H5892H3063H3389
10Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the scroll to all the people at the LORD's temple. He did this from the office of Shaphan's son Gemariah the scribe, in the upper court at the entrance of the New Gate of the LORD's temple.H7121H1263H5612H1697H3414H1004H3068H3957H1587H1121H8227H5608H5945H2691H6607H2319H8179H3068H1004H241H5971

Jeremiah’s Scroll Read in the Palace

11When Gemariah's son Micaiah, the grandson of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll,H4321H1121H1587H1121H8227H8085H5612H1697H3068
12he went down to the palace, to the scribe's office, where all the officials were sitting. Elishama the scribe, Shemaiah's son Delaiah, Achor's son Elnathan, Shaphan's son Gemariah, Hananiah's son Zedekiah, and all the other officials were there.H3381H4428H1004H5608H3957H8269H3427H476H5608H1806H1121H8098H494H1121H5907H1587H1121H8227H6667H1121H2608H8269
13Micaiah told them all the things that he had heard when Baruch read from the scroll to the people.H4321H5046H1697H8085H1263H7121H5612H241H5971
14Then all the officials sent Nethaniah's son Jehudi, (who was also the grandson of Shelemiah and Cushi's great-grandson), to Baruch, who said, "Take the scroll that you read to the people and come." Neriah's son Baruch took the scroll with him and went to them.13H8269H7971H3065H1121H5418H1121H8018H1121H3570H1263H559H3947H3027H4039H7121H241H5971H3212H1263H1121H5374H3947H4039H3027H935
15They said to him, "Please sit down and read it to us." So Baruch read it to them.H559H3427H7121H241H1263H7121H241
16When they heard all the words, they turned to one another in fear, saying to Baruch, "We must report all these things to the king."H8085H1697H6342H413H376H7453H559H1263H5046H5046H4428H1697
17Then they asked Baruch, "Please tell us how you wrote all the words. Did Jeremiah dictate them all?H7592H1263H559H5046H3789H1697H6310
18Baruch answered them, "Yes, Jeremiah dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them in the scroll with ink."H1263H559H7121H1697H6310H3789H1773H5612
19Then the officials said to Baruch, "Go, hide yourself, both you and Jeremiah, and don't let anyone know where you are."H559H8269H1263H3212H5641H3414H376H3045H375

The King Burns Jeremiah’s Scroll

20The officials went to the king in the courtyard, but they deposited the scroll in the office of Elishama the scribe. Then they reported everything written on the scroll to the king.H935H4428H2691H6485H4039H3957H476H5608H5046H1697H241H4428
21The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the office of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it to the king and to all the officials who were standing beside the king.H4428H7971H3065H3947H4039H3947H476H5608H3957H3065H7121H241H4428H241H8269H5975H5921H4428
22The king was sitting in the winter palace in the ninth month and a stove was burning in front of him.H4428H3427H1004H2779H8671H2320H254H1197H6440
23As Jehudi would read three or four columns, the king would cut it with a scribe's knife and throw it into the fire which was in the stove, until all the scroll was burned in the fire in the stove.H3065H7121H7969H702H1817H7167H8593H5608H7993H784H254H4039H8552H784H254
24The king and all his officials who were listening to these words were not afraid, nor did they tear their garments.H6342H7167H899H4428H5650H8085H1697
25Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.H494H1806H1587H6293H4428H8313H4039H8085
26The king ordered his son Jerahmeel, Azriel's son Seraiah, and Abdiel's son Shelemiah to get Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord had hidden them.H4428H6680H3396H1121H4429H8304H1121H5837H8018H1121H5655H3947H1263H5608H3414H5030H3068H5641

Jeremiah Rewrites the Scroll

27The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after the king burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah's dictation:H1697H3068H3414H310H4428H8313H4039H1697H1263H3789H6310H3414H559
28"Go back, take another scroll and write on it all the original words which were on the scroll that Jehoiakim, king of Judah, burned.H3947H7725H312H4039H3789H7223H1697H7223H4039H3079H4428H3063H8313
29Concerning Jehoiakim, king of Judah, you are to say, 'This is what the Lord says: "You burned this scroll, all the while saying, 'Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon will definitely come, destroy this land, and eliminate both people and animals from it?"H559H3079H4428H3063H559H3068H8313H4039H559H3789H559H4428H894H935H935H7843H776H7673H120H929
30Therefore, this is what the Lord says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah, 'He will have no one to sit on the throne of David, and his corpse will be thrown out to rot during the heat of the day and the frost of the night.H559H3068H3079H4428H3063H3427H3678H1732H5038H7993H3117H2721H3915H7140
31I'll punish him, his descendants, and his officials for their iniquity. I'll bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah all the calamity about which I've warned them, but they would not listen.'"3630H6485H2233H5650H5771H935H3427H3389H376H3063H7451H1696H8085
32Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Neriah's son Baruch the scribe. He wrote on it, at Jeremiah's dictation, all the words of the book that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned in the fire. He also added to them many similar words.H3947H3414H312H4039H5414H1263H5608H1121H5374H3789H6310H3414H1697H5612H3079H4428H3063H8313H784H3254H7227H1992H1697
