¹¹ Now when ^(A)Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord from the book, ¹² 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, ^(C)Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, ^(D)Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, 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 to the people. ¹⁴ Then all the officials sent ^(F)Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, who was the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll from which you have read to the people and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah ^(G)took the scroll in his hand and came to them. ¹⁵ And they said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it to us.” So Baruch ^(H)read it to them. ¹⁶ When they had heard all the words, they turned in ^(I)fear one to another. And they said to Baruch, “We will certainly ^(J)report all these words to the king.” ¹⁷ Then they asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us, please, ^(K)how did you write all these words? Was it ^[a]at Jeremiah’s dictation?” ¹⁸ And 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.”
