Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
여호야김이 두루마리를 태우다
36 유다 왕 요시야의 아들 여호야김이 왕이 되어 다스린 지 네 해째 되는 해에 주의 말씀이 예언자 예레미야에게 내렸다. 2 “너는 두루마리를 마련하여 내가 이스라엘과 유다와 다른 모든 나라들에 대하여 너에게 들려준 말들을 모두 적어라. 내가 너에게 처음 말하기 시작했던 요시야 시대로부터 오늘까지 들려준 말을 모두 적어라. 3 어쩌면 유다 백성이 내가 그들에게 내리기로 계획한 모든 벌에 대해 들으면, 저마다 자신의 악한 길에서 돌아설지도 모른다. 그렇게 되면 나도 그들의 허물과 죄를 용서하여 주겠다.”
4 예레미야는 네리야의 아들 바룩을 불렀다. 바룩은 주께서 예레미야에게 하시는 말씀을 예레미야가 불러주는 대로 두루마리에 적었다. 5 그런 다음 예레미야가 바룩에게 말하였다. “나는 여기에 갇혀 있으므로 주의 성전으로 갈 수가 없소. 6 그러니 금식일에 주의 성전으로 가서, 내가 불러주는 대로 그대가 두루마리에 받아 적은 주의 말씀을 읽어 사람들에게 들려주시오. 유다의 여러 성읍에서 온 모든 사람에게 그 말씀을 읽어 들려주시오. 7 어쩌면 지금이라도 그들이 각기 자기의 악한 길에서 돌아서서, 주께 용서를 빌게 될지도 모르는 일이오. 이 백성에게 쏟으시겠다고 선언하신 주의 노여움과 분노가 너무 크기 때문이오.” 8 네리야의 아들 바룩은 예레미야 예언자가 명령한 대로 하였다. 그는 주의 성전에서 두루마리에 적힌 주의 말씀을 모두 읽어 주었다.
9 유다 왕 요시야의 아들 여호야김이 왕이 되어 다스린 지 다섯 해째 되는 해 아홉 째 달에, 예루살렘에 사는 모든 사람들과 유다의 여러 성읍에서 예루살렘으로 들어온 모든 백성에게, 주 앞에서 금식하라는 선포가 내렸다. 10 바룩은 주의 성전으로 들어가서 예레미야가 받은 말씀이 적힌 두루마리를 모든 백성에게 읽어주었다. 그가 두루마리를 읽은 곳은 서기관 사반의 아들 그마랴의 방으로, 그 방은 주의 성전 ‘새 문’ 어귀의 위 뜰에 있었다.
11 그 때에 사반의 손자요 그마랴의 아들인 미가야가 두루마리에 적힌 주의 말씀을 다 듣고는 12 왕궁에 있는 서기관의 방으로 갔다. 때마침 그 곳에는 모든 고관들이 모여 있었다. 서기관 엘리사마, 스마야의 아들 들라야, 악볼의 아들 엘라단, 사반의 아들 그마랴, 하나냐의 아들 시드기야와 다른 고관들이 모두 있었다. 13 미가야는 바룩이 백성에게 두루마리를 읽어줄 때 자기가 들은 모든 말을 그들에게 들려주었다.
14 그러자 모든 고관들은 구시의 증손이요 셀레먀의 손자요 느다냐의 아들인 여후디를 바룩에게 보내며 이렇게 말하라고 하였다. “당신이 백성들에게 읽어 준 그 두루마리를 가지고 이리로 오시오.”
네리야의 아들 바룩은 그 두루마리를 손에 들고 그들에게로 왔다.
15 그들이 바룩에게 말했다. “앉아서 그것을 우리에게 읽어 주시오.”
그래서 바룩은 그것을 그들에게 읽어 주었다.
16 그들은 그 모든 말씀을 듣고 나서 놀라 서로를 쳐다보며 바룩에게 이렇게 말하였다. “우리가 이 모든 말씀을 임금님께 꼭 아뢰어야 하겠소.” 17 그러면서 그들은 바룩에게 물었다. “당신은 어떻게 이 모든 말씀을 기록하게 되었는지 우리에게 말해 주시오. 예레미야가 이것을 받아 적게 하였소?”
18 바룩이 대답하였다. “그렇습니다. 그분이 이 모든 말씀을 불러 주었고 저는 그것을 먹으로 두루마리에 받아 적었습니다.”
19 고관들이 바룩에게 말하였다. “그대는 가서 예레미야와 함께 아무도 모르는 곳에 숨도록 하시오.”
20 그리고 나서 고관들은 그 두루마리를 서기관 엘리사마의 방에 보관해 두고는 왕궁의 뜰에 있는 왕에게로 가서 주의 말씀을 모두 아뢰었다.
21 왕은 여후디를 시켜서 그 두루마리를 가져오게 했다. 여후디는 엘리사마의 방에서 두루마리를 가져다가 왕과 왕 앞에 서 있는 모든 신하들에게 읽어 주었다. 22 그 때는 아홉째 달[a]이어서 왕은 겨울 별관에 머물렀으며 왕 앞에 있는 난로에는 불이 타고 있었다. 23 여후디가 두루마리를 서너 단씩 읽어 내려갈 때마다, 왕은 읽은 부분을 서기관의 칼로 잘라 내어서 난로 불에 던져 넣었다. 이렇게 왕은 두루마리를 모두 난로 불에 태웠다. 24 왕과 그의 모든 신하들이 그 모든 말씀을 듣고도 두려워하는 기색도 보이지 않고 슬퍼하며 옷을 찢지도 않았다.
25 엘라단과 들라야와 그마랴가 왕에게 두루마리를 태우지 말라고 간청하였지만, 왕은 그들의 말을 들은 체도 하지 않았다. 26 왕은 오히려 왕자 여라므엘과 아스리엘의 아들 스라야와 압디엘의 아들 셀레먀에게, 서기관 바룩과 예언자 예레미야를 잡아오라는 명령을 내렸다. 그러나 주께서 그들을 숨겨주셨다.
27 여호야김 왕이 예레미야가 불러주고 바룩이 받아 적은 두루마리를 태워버린 일이 있은 뒤에 주님의 말씀이 예레미야에게 내렸다. 28 “너는 가서 다른 두루마리를 가져다가, 유다 왕 여호야김이 태워버린 처음 두루마리에 적었던 말씀을 다시 적어라. 29 그리고 유다 왕 여호야김에게 이렇게 말해라. ‘나 주가 말한다. 너는 그 두루마리를 태우며 예레미야에게 이렇게 말하였다. “네가 어찌하여 바빌로니아 왕이 틀림없이 쳐들어와서 이 땅을 멸망시키고, 사람과 짐승을 이 땅에서 완전히 없애버릴 것이라고 두루마리에 썼느냐?” 30 그러므로 유다 왕 여호야김을 두고 나 주가 하는 말이다. 그에게는 다윗의 왕좌에 앉을 자손이 없을 것이다. 그의 주검은 밖으로 내던져져서 낮에는 뜨거운 열기를 받고 밤에는 서리를 맞게 될 것이다. 31 여호야김과 그의 자손들과 신하들이 악한 일을 저질렀으므로 나는 그들을 모두 벌하겠다. 그들뿐만 아니라 예루살렘에 사는 사람과 유다 사람에게도 내가 내리겠다고 선언했던 재앙을 빠짐없이 내리겠다. 그들이 내 말에 귀를 기울이지 않았기 때문이다.’”
32 그래서 예레미야는 다른 두루마리를 구해다가 네리야의 아들 서기관 바룩에게 주었다. 바룩은 예레미야가 불러주는 대로 유다 왕 여호야김이 불에 태워버린 두루마리에 적혀있던 모든 말씀을 다 적었다. 그리고 그와 비슷한 말씀도 더 많이 덧붙여 적었다.

El rey quema el rollo
36 Aconteció en el cuarto año de Joacim(A) hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, que vino esta palabra de Jehová a Jeremías, diciendo: 2 Toma un rollo de libro, y escribe en él todas las palabras que te he hablado contra Israel y contra Judá, y contra todas las naciones, desde el día que comencé a hablarte, desde los días de Josías hasta hoy. 3 Quizá oiga la casa de Judá todo el mal que yo pienso hacerles, y se arrepienta cada uno de su mal camino, y yo perdonaré su maldad y su pecado.
4 Y llamó Jeremías a Baruc hijo de Nerías, y escribió Baruc de boca de Jeremías, en un rollo de libro, todas las palabras que Jehová le había hablado. 5 Después mandó Jeremías a Baruc, diciendo: A mí se me ha prohibido entrar en la casa de Jehová. 6 Entra tú, pues, y lee de este rollo que escribiste de mi boca, las palabras de Jehová a los oídos del pueblo, en la casa de Jehová, el día del ayuno; y las leerás también a oídos de todos los de Judá que vienen de sus ciudades. 7 Quizá llegue la oración de ellos a la presencia de Jehová, y se vuelva cada uno de su mal camino; porque grande es el furor y la ira que ha expresado Jehová contra este pueblo. 8 Y Baruc hijo de Nerías hizo conforme a todas las cosas que le mandó Jeremías profeta, leyendo en el libro las palabras de Jehová en la casa de Jehová.
9 Y aconteció en el año quinto de Joacim hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, en el mes noveno, que promulgaron ayuno en la presencia de Jehová a todo el pueblo de Jerusalén y a todo el pueblo que venía de las ciudades de Judá a Jerusalén. 10 Y Baruc leyó en el libro las palabras de Jeremías en la casa de Jehová, en el aposento de Gemarías hijo de Safán escriba, en el atrio de arriba, a la entrada de la puerta nueva de la casa de Jehová, a oídos del pueblo.
11 Y Micaías hijo de Gemarías, hijo de Safán, habiendo oído del libro todas las palabras de Jehová, 12 descendió a la casa del rey, al aposento del secretario, y he aquí que todos los príncipes estaban allí sentados, esto es: Elisama secretario, Delaía hijo de Semaías, Elnatán hijo de Acbor, Gemarías hijo de Safán, Sedequías hijo de Ananías, y todos los príncipes. 13 Y les contó Micaías todas las palabras que había oído cuando Baruc leyó en el libro a oídos del pueblo. 14 Entonces enviaron todos los príncipes a Jehudí hijo de Netanías, hijo de Selemías, hijo de Cusi, para que dijese a Baruc: Toma el rollo en el que leíste a oídos del pueblo, y ven. Y Baruc hijo de Nerías tomó el rollo en su mano y vino a ellos. 15 Y le dijeron: Siéntate ahora, y léelo a nosotros. Y se lo leyó Baruc. 16 Cuando oyeron todas aquellas palabras, cada uno se volvió espantado a su compañero, y dijeron a Baruc: Sin duda contaremos al rey todas estas palabras. 17 Preguntaron luego a Baruc, diciendo: Cuéntanos ahora cómo escribiste de boca de Jeremías todas estas palabras. 18 Y Baruc les dijo: Él me dictaba de su boca todas estas palabras, y yo escribía con tinta en el libro. 19 Entonces dijeron los príncipes a Baruc: Ve y escóndete, tú y Jeremías, y nadie sepa dónde estáis.
20 Y entraron a donde estaba el rey, al atrio, habiendo depositado el rollo en el aposento de Elisama secretario; y contaron a oídos del rey todas estas palabras. 21 Y envió el rey a Jehudí a que tomase el rollo, el cual lo tomó del aposento de Elisama secretario, y leyó en él Jehudí a oídos del rey, y a oídos de todos los príncipes que junto al rey estaban. 22 Y el rey estaba en la casa de invierno en el mes noveno, y había un brasero ardiendo delante de él. 23 Cuando Jehudí había leído tres o cuatro planas, lo rasgó el rey con un cortaplumas de escriba, y lo echó en el fuego que había en el brasero, hasta que todo el rollo se consumió sobre el fuego que en el brasero había. 24 Y no tuvieron temor ni rasgaron sus vestidos el rey y todos sus siervos que oyeron todas estas palabras. 25 Y aunque Elnatán y Delaía y Gemarías rogaron al rey que no quemase aquel rollo, no los quiso oír. 26 También mandó el rey a Jerameel hijo de Hamelec, a Seraías hijo de Azriel y a Selemías hijo de Abdeel, para que prendiesen a Baruc el escribiente y al profeta Jeremías; pero Jehová los escondió.
27 Y vino palabra de Jehová a Jeremías, después que el rey quemó el rollo, las palabras que Baruc había escrito de boca de Jeremías, diciendo: 28 Vuelve a tomar otro rollo, y escribe en él todas las palabras primeras que estaban en el primer rollo que quemó Joacim rey de Judá. 29 Y dirás a Joacim rey de Judá: Así ha dicho Jehová: Tú quemaste este rollo, diciendo: ¿Por qué escribiste en él, diciendo: De cierto vendrá el rey de Babilonia, y destruirá esta tierra, y hará que no queden en ella ni hombres ni animales? 30 Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová acerca de Joacim rey de Judá: No tendrá quien se siente sobre el trono de David; y su cuerpo será echado al calor del día y al hielo de la noche. 31 Y castigaré su maldad en él, y en su descendencia y en sus siervos; y traeré sobre ellos, y sobre los moradores de Jerusalén y sobre los varones de Judá, todo el mal que les he anunciado y no escucharon.
32 Y tomó Jeremías otro rollo y lo dio a Baruc hijo de Nerías escriba; y escribió en él de boca de Jeremías todas las palabras del libro que quemó en el fuego Joacim rey de Judá; y aun fueron añadidas sobre ellas muchas otras palabras semejantes.

Jehoiakim Burns Jeremiah’s Scroll
36 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim(A) son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Take a scroll(B) and write on it all the words(C) I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah and all the other nations from the time I began speaking to you in the reign of Josiah(D) till now. 3 Perhaps(E) when the people of Judah hear(F) about every disaster I plan to inflict on them, they will each turn(G) from their wicked ways; then I will forgive(H) their wickedness and their sin.”
4 So Jeremiah called Baruch(I) son of Neriah,(J) and while Jeremiah dictated(K) all the words the Lord had spoken to him, Baruch wrote them on the scroll.(L) 5 Then Jeremiah told Baruch, “I am restricted; I am not allowed to go to the Lord’s temple. 6 So you go to the house of the Lord on a day of fasting(M) and read to the people from the scroll the words of the Lord that you wrote as I dictated.(N) Read them to all the people of Judah(O) who come in from their towns. 7 Perhaps they will bring their petition(P) before the Lord and will each turn(Q) from their wicked ways, for the anger(R) and wrath pronounced against this people by the Lord are great.”
8 Baruch son of Neriah did everything Jeremiah the prophet told him to do; at the Lord’s temple he read the words of the Lord from the scroll. 9 In the ninth month(S) of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, a time of fasting(T) before the Lord was proclaimed for all the people in Jerusalem and those who had come from the towns of Judah. 10 From the room of Gemariah(U) son of Shaphan(V) the secretary,(W) which was in the upper courtyard at the entrance of the New Gate(X) of the temple, Baruch read to all the people at the Lord’s temple the words of Jeremiah from the scroll.
11 When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll, 12 he went down to the secretary’s(Y) room in the royal palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan(Z) son of Akbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.(AA) 13 After Micaiah told them everything he had heard Baruch read to the people from the scroll, 14 all the officials sent Jehudi(AB) son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to say to Baruch, “Bring the scroll(AC) from which you have read to the people and come.” So Baruch son of Neriah went to them with the scroll in his hand. 15 They said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it to us.”
So Baruch read it to them. 16 When they heard all these words, they looked at each other in fear(AD) and said to Baruch, “We must report all these words to the king.” 17 Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, how did you come to write(AE) all this? Did Jeremiah dictate it?”
18 “Yes,” Baruch replied, “he dictated(AF) all these words to me, and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.”
19 Then the officials(AG) said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah, go and hide.(AH) Don’t let anyone know where you are.”
20 After they put the scroll in the room of Elishama the secretary, they went to the king in the courtyard and reported everything to him. 21 The king sent Jehudi(AI) to get the scroll, and Jehudi brought it from the room of Elishama the secretary and read it to the king(AJ) and all the officials standing beside him. 22 It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in the winter apartment,(AK) with a fire burning in the firepot in front of him. 23 Whenever Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll,(AL) the king cut them off with a scribe’s knife and threw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll was burned in the fire.(AM) 24 The king and all his attendants who heard all these words showed no fear,(AN) nor did they tear their clothes.(AO) 25 Even though Elnathan, Delaiah(AP) and Gemariah(AQ) urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. 26 Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest(AR) Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the Lord had hidden(AS) them.
27 After the king burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation,(AT) the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 28 “Take another scroll(AU) and write on it all the words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up. 29 Also tell Jehoiakim king of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord says: You burned that scroll and said, “Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon would certainly come and destroy this land and wipe from it(AV) both man and beast?”(AW) 30 Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim(AX) king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on the throne of David; his body will be thrown out(AY) and exposed(AZ) to the heat by day and the frost by night.(BA) 31 I will punish him and his children(BB) and his attendants for their wickedness; I will bring on them and those living in Jerusalem and the people of Judah every disaster(BC) I pronounced against them, because they have not listened.(BD)’”
32 So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and as Jeremiah dictated,(BE) Baruch wrote(BF) on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned(BG) in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.

36 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 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.
3 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.
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the Lord:
6 Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord in the ears of the people in the Lord's house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
7 It may be they will present their supplication before the Lord, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the Lord hath pronounced against this people.
8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
10 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house, in the ears of all the people.
11 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord,
12 Then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even 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.
13 Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine 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.
15 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.
16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
18 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.
20 And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
22 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
25 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.
26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord hid them.
27 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
28 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.
29 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the Lord; 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?
30 Therefore thus saith the Lord of 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.
31 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.
32 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.

The Scroll Read in the Temple
36 Now it came to pass in the (A)fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: 2 “Take a (B)scroll of a book and (C)write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against (D)all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of (E)Josiah even to this day. 3 It (F)may be that the house of Judah will hear all the adversities which I purpose to bring upon them, that everyone may (G)turn from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Then Jeremiah (H)called Baruch the son of Neriah; and (I)Baruch wrote on a scroll of a book, [a]at the instruction of Jeremiah, all the words of the Lord which He had spoken to him. 5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am confined, I cannot go into the house of the Lord. 6 You go, therefore, and read from the scroll which you have written [b]at my instruction, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord’s house on (J)the day of fasting. And you shall also read them in the hearing of all Judah who come from their cities. 7 It may be that they will present their supplication before the Lord, and everyone will turn from his evil way. For great is the anger and the fury that the Lord has pronounced against this people.” 8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord’s house.
9 Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem. 10 Then Baruch read from the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court at the (K)entry of the New Gate of the Lord’s house, in the [c]hearing of all the people.
The Scroll Read in the Palace
11 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the book, 12 he then went down to the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber; and there all the princes were sitting—(L)Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, (M)Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes. 13 Then Michaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read the book in the hearing of the people. 14 Therefore 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 from which you have read in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them. 15 And they said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
16 Now it happened, when they had heard all the words, that they looked in fear from one to another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.” 17 And they asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words—[d]at his instruction?”
18 So Baruch answered them, “He proclaimed with his mouth all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
19 Then the princes said to Baruch, “Go and hide, you and Jeremiah; and let no one know where you are.”
The King Destroys Jeremiah’s Scroll
20 And they went to the king, into the court; but they stored the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the hearing of the king. 21 So the king sent Jehudi to bring the scroll, and he took it from Elishama the scribe’s chamber. And Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king. 22 Now the king was sitting in (N)the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him. 23 And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that the king cut it with the scribe’s knife and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. 24 Yet they were (O)not afraid, nor did they (P)tear their garments, the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words. 25 Nevertheless Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah implored the king not to burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them. 26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel [e]the king’s son, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord hid them.
Jeremiah Rewrites the Scroll
27 Now after the king had burned the scroll with the words which Baruch had written [f]at the instruction of Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying: 28 “Take yet another scroll, and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned. 29 And you shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You have burned this scroll, saying, (Q)‘Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and cause man and beast to (R)cease from here?’ ” 30 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: (S)“He shall have no one to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be (T)cast out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night. 31 I will punish him, his [g]family, and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah all the doom that I have pronounced against them; but they did not heed.” ’ ”
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote on it [h]at the instruction of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And besides, there were added to them many similar words.
