Jeremiah Dictates a Scroll

36In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:H7243H8141H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H1697H3414H3068H559
2"Take a scroll, and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah, and all the nations from the time I [first] spoke to you during Josiah's reign until today.H3947H4039H5612H3789H1697H1696H3478H3063H1471H3117H1696H3117H2977H3117
3Perhaps, when the house of Judah hears about all the disaster I am planning to bring on them, each one of them will turn from his evil way. Then I will forgive their wrongdoing and sin."H1004H3063H8085H7451H2803H6213H7725H376H7451H1870H5545H5771H2403
4So Jeremiah summoned Baruch son of Neriah. At Jeremiah's dictation, Baruch wrote on a scroll all the words the LORD had spoken to Jeremiah.H3414H7121H1263H1121H5374H1263H3789H6310H3414H1697H3068H1696H4039H5612
5Then Jeremiah commanded Baruch, "I am restricted; I cannot enter the temple of the LORD,H3414H6680H1263H559H6113H3201H935H1004H3068
6so you must go and read from the scroll— which you wrote at my dictation— the words of the LORD in the hearing of the people at the temple of the LORD on a day of fasting. You must also read them in the hearing of all the Judeans who are coming from their cities.H935H7121H4039H3789H6310H1697H3068H241H5971H3068H1004H6685H3117H7121H241H3063H935H5892
7Perhaps their petition will come before the LORD, and each one will turn from his evil way, for the anger and fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people are great."H5307H8467H6440H3068H7725H376H7451H1870H1419H639H2534H3068H1696H5971
8So Baruch son of Neriah did everything Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him. At the LORD's temple he read the LORD's words from the scroll.H1263H1121H5374H6213H3414H5030H6680H7121H5612H1697H3068H3068H1004

Baruch Reads the Scroll

9In the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people of Jerusalem and all those coming in from Judah's cities into Jerusalem proclaimed a fast before the LORD.H2549H8141H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H8671H2320H7121H6685H6440H3068H5971H3389H5971H935H5892H3063H3389
10Then at the LORD's temple, in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper courtyard at the opening of the New Gate of the LORD's temple, in the hearing of all the people, Baruch read Jeremiah's words from the scroll.H7121H1263H5612H1697H3414H1004H3068H3957H1587H1121H8227H5608H5945H2691H6607H2319H8179H3068H1004H241H5971
11When Micaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll,H4321H1121H1587H1121H8227H8085H5612H1697H3068
12he went down to the scribe's chamber in the king's palace. All the officials were sitting there— Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.H3381H4428H1004H5608H3957H8269H3427H476H5608H1806H1121H8098H494H1121H5907H1587H1121H8227H6667H1121H2608H8269
13Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard when Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people.H4321H5046H1697H8085H1263H7121H5612H241H5971
14Then all the officials sent [word] to Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, "Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come." So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them.H8269H7971H3065H1121H5418H1121H8018H1121H3570H1263H559H3947H3027H4039H7121H241H5971H3212H1263H1121H5374H3947H4039H3027H935
15They said to him, "Sit down and read [it] in our hearing." So Baruch read [it] in their hearing.H559H3427H7121H241H1263H7121H241
16When they had heard all the words, they turned to each other in fear and said to Baruch, "We must surely tell the king all these things."H8085H1697H6342H413H376H7453H559H1263H5046H5046H4428H1697
17Then they asked Baruch, "Tell us— how did you write all these words? At his dictation?"H7592H1263H559H5046H3789H1697H6310
18Baruch said to them, "At his dictation. He recited all these words to me while I was writing on the scroll in ink."H1263H559H7121H1697H6310H3789H1773H5612

Jehoiakim Burns the Scroll

19The officials said to Baruch, "You and Jeremiah must hide yourselves and tell no one where you are."H559H8269H1263H3212H5641H3414H376H3045H375
20Then they came to the king at the courtyard, having deposited the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and reported everything in the hearing of the king.H935H4428H2691H6485H4039H3957H476H5608H5046H1697H241H4428
21The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi then read it in the hearing of the king and all the officials who were standing by the king.H4428H7971H3065H3947H4039H3947H476H5608H3957H3065H7121H241H4428H241H8269H5975H5921H4428
22Since it was the ninth month, the king was sitting in his winter quarters with a fire burning in front of him.H4428H3427H1004H2779H8671H2320H254H1197H6440
23As soon as Jehudi would read three or four columns, Jehoiakim would cut the scroll with a scribe's knife and throw the columns into the blazing fire until the entire scroll was consumed by the fire in the brazier.H3065H7121H7969H702H1817H7167H8593H5608H7993H784H254H4039H8552H784H254
24As they heard all these words, the king and all of his servants did not became terrified or tear their garments.H6342H7167H899H4428H5650H8085H1697
25Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah had urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.H494H1806H1587H6293H4428H8313H4039H8085
26Then the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the LORD had hidden them.H4428H6680H3396H1121H4429H8304H1121H5837H8018H1121H5655H3947H1263H5608H3414H5030H3068H5641

Jeremiah Dictates Another Scroll

27After the king had burned the scroll with the words Baruch had written at Jeremiah's dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:H1697H3068H3414H310H4428H8313H4039H1697H1263H3789H6310H3414H559
28"Take another scroll, and once again write on it the very words that were on the original scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned.H3947H7725H312H4039H3789H7223H1697H7223H4039H3079H4428H3063H8313
29You are to proclaim concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: This is what the LORD says: You have burned the scroll, saying: Why have you written on it: The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land and cause it to be without man or beast?H559H3079H4428H3063H559H3068H8313H4039H559H3789H559H4428H894H935H935H7843H776H7673H120H929
30Therefore, this is what the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David's throne, and his corpse will be thrown out [to be exposed] to the heat of day and the frost of night.H559H3068H3079H4428H3063H3427H3678H1732H5038H7993H3117H2721H3915H7140
31I will punish him, his descendants, and his officers for their wrongdoing. I will bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah all the disaster, which I warned them about but they did not listen."H6485H2233H5650H5771H935H3427H3389H376H3063H7451H1696H8085
32Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah, the scribe, and he wrote on it at Jeremiah's dictation all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim, Judah's king, had burned in the fire. And many other words like them were added.H3947H3414H312H4039H5414H1263H5608H1121H5374H3789H6310H3414H1697H5612H3079H4428H3063H8313H784H3254H7227H1992H1697
