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

¹¹ And Micaiah son of Gemariah son of Shaphan, will hear all the words of Jehovah from the book ¹² And he will go down to the house of the king to the scribe's chamber, and behold, there all the chiefs 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 chiefs. ¹³ And Micaiah will announce to them all the words which he heard in the reading of Baruch in the book in the ears of the people. ¹⁴ And all the chiefs will send to Baruch, Jehudi, son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, The roll in which thou readest in the ears of the people, take it in thy hand and come. And Baruch the son of Neriah will take the roll in his hand, and come to them. ¹⁵ And they will say to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears And Baruch will read in their ears.

¹⁶ And it will be when they heard all the words, they trembled, a man with his neighbor, and they will say to Baruch, Announcing, we will announce to the king all these words. ¹⁷ And they asked Baruch, saying, Announce now to us how thou didst write all these words from his mouth?

¹⁸ And Baruch will say to them, From his mouth he will read to me all these words, and I will write upon the book with ink. ¹⁹ And the chiefs will say to Baruch, Go hide, thou, and Jeremiah; and a man not knowing where ye are.
