Chapter 36
And it came to p ss in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah,
king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, Take
thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto
thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the
day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day. It may be
that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto
them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive
their iniquity and their sin.
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the
mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovah, which he had spoken unto him, upon
a roll of a book. And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am ^1 shut up; I
cannot go into the house of Jehovah: therefore go thou, and read in the roll,
which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah in the ears of the
people in Jehovah's house upon ^2 the fast-day; and also thou shalt read them
in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities. It may be ^3 they
will present their supplication before Jehovah, and will return every one from
his evil way; for great is the anger and the wrath that Jehovah hath
pronounced against this people. And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to
all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of
Jehovah in Jehovah's house.
[Footnote 1: Or, restrained.]
[Footnote 2: Or, a fast-day]
[Footnote 3: Heb. their supplication will fall.]
Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah,
king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all
the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem, proclaimed a
fast before Jehovah. Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in
the house of Jehovah, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the
scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Jehovah's house,
in the ears of all the people.
And when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out
of the book all the words of Jehovah, he went down into the king's house, into
the scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes were sitting there, to wit,
Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of
Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and
all the princes. Then Micaiah declared unto them all the words that he had
heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people. Therefore all the
princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of
Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thy hand the roll wherein thou hast read
in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the
roll in his hand, and came unto them. And they said unto him, Sit down now,
and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears. Now it came to
pass, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward
another, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these
words. And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all
these words at his mouth? Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these
words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book. Then
said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man
know where ye are.
And they went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the
roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the
ears of the king. So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it
out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of
the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king. Now
the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month: and there was a
fire in the brazier burning before him. And it came to pass, when Jehudi had
read three or four ^1 leaves, that the king cut it with the penknife, and cast
it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the roll was consumed in
the fire that was in the brazier. And they were not afraid, nor rent their
garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these
words. Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to
the king that he would not burn the roll; but he would not hear them. And the
king commanded Jerahmeel ^2 the king's son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and
Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the
prophet; but Jehovah hid them.
[Footnote 1: Or, columns]
[Footnote 2: Or, the son of Hammelech]
Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned
the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were
in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned. And
concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou
hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king
of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to
cease from thence man and beast? Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning
Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David;
and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night
to the frost. And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their
iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them,
but they hearkened not. Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to
Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of
Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in
the fire; and there were added besides unto them many like words.
