Baruch reads the book in the room of Gemariah, and the princes hear him read it and tell him to hide with Jeremiah

바룩이 그마랴의 방에서 책을 낭독하고, 방백들이 바룩의 낭독을 듣고 그에게 예레미야와 함께 숨으라고 말함

Jeremiah 36:9–19: in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem proclaim a fast before the LORD. Then Baruch reads the words of Jeremiah from the book in the LORD’s house, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house, in the ears of all the people. When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, has heard out of the book all the LORD’s words, he goes down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room. The text says, “and behold, all the princes were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.” Then Micaiah declares to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people. Therefore all the princes send Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah takes the scroll in his hand, and comes to them. They say to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch reads it in their hearing. When they have heard all the words, they turn in fear one toward another, and say to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.” They ask Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?” Then Baruch answers them, “He dictated all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.” Then the princes say to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah go hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.” The Korean Revised Version counts Jehudi’s generations at 36:14 (구시의 증손 셀레먀의 손자 느다냐의 아들 여후디: Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the grandson of Shelemiah, the great-grandson of Cushi), and names Baruch at 36:15 (그들이 바룩에게 이르되), where WEB reads “They said to him”.

    9Now in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before the LORD.

    10Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the book in the LORD’s house, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house, in the ears of all the people.

    11When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the LORD’s words,

    12he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room; and behold, all the princes were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

    13Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

    14Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.

    15They said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.

    16Now when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.”

    17They asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?”

    18Then Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”

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