JER 36:9–19, engwebp
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.”
