1 # And it came to pass in the fourth <07243> year <08141> of Jehoiakim <03079> the son <01121> of Josiah <02977> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, that this word <01697> came unto Jeremiah <03414> from the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Take <03947> (8798) thee a roll <04039> of a book <05612>, and write <03789> (8804) therein all the words <01697> that I have spoken <01696> (8765) unto thee against Israel <03478>, and against Judah <03063>, and against all the nations <01471>, from the day <03117> I spake <01696> (8765) unto thee, from the days <03117> of Josiah <02977>, even unto this day <03117>.
3 It may be that the house <01004> of Judah <03063> will hear <08085> (8799) all the evil <07451> which I purpose <02803> (8802) to do <06213> (8800) unto them; that they may return <07725> (8799) every man <0376> from his evil <07451> way <01870>; that I may forgive <05545> (8804) their iniquity <05771> and their sin <02403>.
4 Then Jeremiah <03414> called <07121> (8799) Baruch <01263> the son <01121> of Neriah <05374>: and Baruch <01263> wrote <03789> (8799) from the mouth <06310> of Jeremiah <03414> all the words <01697> of the LORD <03068> , which he had spoken <01696> (8765) unto him, upon a roll <04039> of a book <05612>.
5 And Jeremiah <03414> commanded <06680> (8762) Baruch <01263>, saying <0559> (8800), I am shut up <06113> (8803); I cannot <03201> (8799) go <0935> (8800) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> :
6 Therefore go <0935> (8804) thou, and read <07121> (8804) in the roll <04039>, which thou hast written <03789> (8804) from my mouth <06310>, the words <01697> of the LORD <03068> in the ears <0241> of the people <05971> in the LORD'S <03068> house <01004> upon the fasting <06685> day <03117>: and also thou shalt read <07121> (8799) them in the ears <0241> of all Judah <03063> that come out <0935> (8802) of their cities <05892>.
7 It may be they will present <05307> (8799) their supplication <08467> before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and will return <07725> (8799) every one <0376> from his evil <07451> way <01870>: for great <01419> is the anger <0639> and the fury <02534> that the LORD <03068> hath pronounced <01696> (8765) against this people <05971>.
8 And Baruch <01263> the son <01121> of Neriah <05374> did <06213> (8799) according to all that Jeremiah <03414> the prophet <05030> commanded <06680> (8765) him, reading <07121> (8800) in the book <05612> the words <01697> of the LORD <03068> in the LORD'S <03068> house <01004>.
9 # And it came to pass in the fifth <02549> year <08141> of Jehoiakim <03079> the son <01121> of Josiah <02977> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, in the ninth <08671> month <02320>, that they proclaimed <07121> (8804) a fast <06685> before <06440> the LORD <03068> to all the people <05971> in Jerusalem <03389>, and to all the people <05971> that came <0935> (8802) from the cities <05892> of Judah <03063> unto Jerusalem <03389>.
10 Then read <07121> (8799) Baruch <01263> in the book <05612> the words <01697> of Jeremiah <03414> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, in the chamber <03957> of Gemariah <01587> the son <01121> of Shaphan <08227> the scribe <05608> (8802), in the higher <05945> court <02691>, at the entry <06607> of the new <02319> gate <08179> of the LORD'S <03068> house <01004>, in the ears <0241> of all the people <05971>.
11 When Michaiah <04321> the son <01121> of Gemariah <01587>, the son <01121> of Shaphan <08227>, had heard <08085> (8799) out of the book <05612> all the words <01697> of the LORD <03068>,
12 Then he went down <03381> (8799) into the king's <04428> house <01004>, into the scribe's <05608> (8802) chamber <03957>: and, lo, all the princes <08269> sat <03427> (8802) there, even Elishama <0476> the scribe <05608> (8802), and Delaiah <01806> the son <01121> of Shemaiah <08098>, and Elnathan <0494> the son <01121> of Achbor <05907> , and Gemariah <01587> the son <01121> of Shaphan <08227>, and Zedekiah <06667> the son <01121> of Hananiah <02608> , and all the princes <08269>.
13 Then Michaiah <04321> declared <05046> (8686) unto them all the words <01697> that he had heard <08085> (8804), when Baruch <01263> read <07121> (8800) the book <05612> in the ears <0241> of the people <05971>.
14 Therefore all the princes <08269> sent <07971> (8799) Jehudi <03065> the son <01121> of Nethaniah <05418> , the son <01121> of Shelemiah <08018>, the son <01121> of Cushi <03570>, unto Baruch <01263>, saying <0559> (8800) , Take <03947> (8798) in thine hand <03027> the roll <04039> wherein thou hast read <07121> (8804) in the ears <0241> of the people <05971>, and come <03212> (8798). So Baruch <01263> the son <01121> of Neriah <05374> took <03947> (8799) the roll <04039> in his hand <03027>, and came <0935> (8799) unto them.
15 And they said <0559> (8799) unto him, Sit down <03427> (8798) now, and read <07121> (8798) it in our ears <0241>. So Baruch <01263> read <07121> (8799) it in their ears <0241>.
16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard <08085> (8800) all the words <01697>, they were afraid <06342> (8804) both <0413> one <0376> and other <07453>, and said <0559> (8799) unto Baruch <01263>, We will surely <05046> (8687) tell <05046> (8686) the king <04428> of all these words <01697>.
17 And they asked <07592> (8804) Baruch <01263>, saying <0559> (8800), Tell <05046> (8685) us now, How didst thou write <03789> (8804) all these words <01697> at his mouth <06310>?
18 Then Baruch <01263> answered <0559> (8799) them, He pronounced <07121> (8799) all these words <01697> unto me with his mouth <06310>, and I wrote <03789> (8802) them with ink <01773> in the book <05612>.
19 Then said <0559> (8799) the princes <08269> unto Baruch <01263>, Go <03212> (8798), hide <05641> (8734) thee, thou and Jeremiah <03414>; and let no man <0376> know <03045> (8799) where <0375> ye be.
20 # And they went in <0935> (8799) to the king <04428> into the court <02691>, but they laid up <06485> (8689) the roll <04039> in the chamber <03957> of Elishama <0476> the scribe <05608> (8802), and told <05046> (8686) all the words <01697> in the ears <0241> of the king <04428>.
21 So the king <04428> sent <07971> (8799) Jehudi <03065> to fetch <03947> (8800) the roll <04039> : and he took <03947> (8799) it out of Elishama <0476> the scribe's <05608> (8802) chamber <03957>. And Jehudi <03065> read <07121> (8799) it in the ears <0241> of the king <04428>, and in the ears <0241> of all the princes <08269> which stood <05975> (8802) beside <05921> the king <04428>.
22 Now the king <04428> sat <03427> (8802) in the winterhouse <01004> <02779> in the ninth <08671> month <02320>: and there was a fire on the hearth <0254> burning <01197> (8794) before <06440> him.
23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi <03065> had read <07121> (8800) three <07969> or four <0702> leaves <01817>, he cut <07167> (8799) it with the penknife <08593> <05608> (8802), and cast <07993> (8687) it into the fire <0784> that was on the hearth <0254>, until all the roll <04039> was consumed <08552> (8800) in the fire <0784> that was on the hearth <0254>.
24 Yet they were not afraid <06342> (8804), nor rent <07167> (8804) their garments <0899>, neither the king <04428>, nor any of his servants <05650> that heard <08085> (8802) all these words <01697>.
25 Nevertheless Elnathan <0494> and Delaiah <01806> and Gemariah <01587> had made intercession <06293> (8689) to the king <04428> that he would not burn <08313> (8800) the roll <04039>: but he would not hear <08085> (8804) them.
26 But the king <04428> commanded <06680> (8762) Jerahmeel <03396> the son <01121> of Hammelech <04429> , and Seraiah <08304> the son <01121> of Azriel <05837>, and Shelemiah <08018> the son <01121> of Abdeel <05655>, to take <03947> (8800) Baruch <01263> the scribe <05608> (8802) and Jeremiah <03414> the prophet <05030>: but the LORD <03068> hid <05641> (8686) them.
27 Then the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came to Jeremiah <03414>, after <0310> that the king <04428> had burned <08313> (8800) the roll <04039>, and the words <01697> which Baruch <01263> wrote <03789> (8804) at the mouth <06310> of Jeremiah <03414>, saying <0559> (8800),
28 Take <03947> (8798) thee again <07725> (8798) another <0312> roll <04039>, and write <03789> (8798) in it all the former <07223> words <01697> that were in the first <07223> roll <04039>, which Jehoiakim <03079> the king <04428> of Judah <03063> hath burned <08313> (8804).
29 And thou shalt say <0559> (8799) to Jehoiakim <03079> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Thou hast burned <08313> (8804) this roll <04039>, saying <0559> (8800), Why hast thou written <03789> (8804) therein, saying <0559> (8800), The king <04428> of Babylon <0894> shall certainly <0935> (8800) come <0935> (8799) and destroy <07843> (8689) this land <0776>, and shall cause to cease <07673> (8689) from thence man <0120> and beast <0929>?
30 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of Jehoiakim <03079> king <04428> of Judah <03063> ; He shall have none to sit <03427> (8802) upon the throne <03678> of David <01732>: and his dead body <05038> shall be cast out <07993> (8716) in the day <03117> to the heat <02721>, and in the night <03915> to the frost <07140>.
31 And I will punish <06485> (8804) him and his seed <02233> and his servants <05650> for their iniquity <05771> ; and I will bring <0935> (8689) upon them, and upon the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>, and upon the men <0376> of Judah <03063>, all the evil <07451> that I have pronounced <01696> (8765) against them; but they hearkened <08085> (8804) not.
32 Then took <03947> (8804) Jeremiah <03414> another <0312> roll <04039>, and gave <05414> (8799) it to Baruch <01263> the scribe <05608> (8802), the son <01121> of Neriah <05374>; who wrote <03789> (8799) therein from the mouth <06310> of Jeremiah <03414> all the words <01697> of the book <05612> which Jehoiakim <03079> king <04428> of Judah <03063> had burned <08313> (8804) in the fire <0784>: and there were added <03254> (8738) besides unto them many <07227> like <01992> words <01697>.
