Jeremiah 36:11-19
1599 Geneva Bible
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 to the King’s house into the Chancellor’s chamber, and lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the Chancellor, 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 in the book in the audience 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 audience 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, that we may hear. So Baruch read it in their audience.
16 Now when they had heard all the words, they were [a]afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will certify the King of all these words.
17 And they examined 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, [b]hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man know where ye be.
