¹⁰ And he spread it before me. And it had writing ^(A)on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.

¹³ Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, ^(A)“Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”

^14 (A)The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.

^12 (A)The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

² And the Lord answered me:

²⁹ And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Thus says the Lord, You have burned this scroll, saying, ^(A)“Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cut off from it man and beast?” ³⁰ Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: ^(B)He shall have none ^(C)to sit on the throne of David, ^(D)and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day and the frost by night. ^31 (E)And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and upon the people of Judah all the disaster that I have pronounced against them, but they would not hear.’”

³² Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to ^(F)Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who ^(G)wrote on it at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
