Jeremiah 36:11-19

Legacy Standard Bible

¹¹ Then ^(A)Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of Yahweh from the book. ¹² And he went down to the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber. And behold, all the officials were sitting there—^(B)Elishama the scribe, and ^(C)Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and ^(D)Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the other officials. ¹³ And Micaiah ^(E)declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the book in the hearing of the people. ¹⁴ Then all the officials sent ^(F)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 ^(G)took the scroll in his hand and went to them. ¹⁵ And they said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch ^(H)read it in their hearing. ¹⁶ Now it happened that when they heard all the words, they turned in ^(I)dread one to another and said to Baruch, “We will surely ^(J)declare all these words to the king.” ¹⁷ And they asked Baruch, saying, “Declare to us, please, ^(K)how did you write all these words? Was it ^[a]at his dictation?” ¹⁸ Then Baruch said to them, “He ^(L)dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink on the book.” ¹⁹ Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go, ^(M)hide yourself, you and Jeremiah, and do not let anyone know where you are.”
