Jeremiah 36:11-19 - The Scroll Is Read To The Officials

¹¹ When Micaiah, son of Gemariah son of Shaphan, heard all the words of Yahweh out of the book, ¹² then went he down unto the house of the king up to the chamber of the scribe, and lo! there, all the princes sitting, - Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan son of Achbor, and Gemariah son of Shaphan and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the princes, ¹³ So Micaiah told them all the words which he heard, - when Baruch read in the book in the ears of the people. ¹⁴ All the princes, therefore sent unto Baruch, Jehudi, son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi saying, The roll wherein thou didst read in the ears of the people, take it in thy hand, and come, So Baruch son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came in unto them. ¹⁵ Then said they unto him, Sit down we pray thee and read it in our ears, So Baruch read it in their ears.

¹⁶ And it came to pass when they heard all the words, that they turned with fear one to another, - and said unto Baruch, We must, surely tell, the king, all these words! ¹⁷ Then unto Baruch, put they questions saying, - Tell us, we pray thee, How, didst thou write all these words at his mouth?

¹⁸ So Baruch said unto them, With his own mouth, used he to proclaim unto me all these words, - and I kept on writing in the book, with ink. ¹⁹ Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man, know where ye, are!
