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.”

Christian Standard Bible
11 When Micaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll, 12 he went down to the scribe’s chamber in the king’s palace. All the officials were sitting there—Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor,(A) Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials. 13 Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard when Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people. 14 Then all the officials sent word to Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, “Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them. 15 They said to him, “Sit down and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
16 When they had heard all the words, they turned to each other in fear and said to Baruch, “We must surely tell the king all these things.” 17 Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, how did you write all these words? At his dictation?” [a]
18 Baruch said to them, “At his dictation. He recited all these words to me while I was writing on the scroll in ink.”
