1 In the fourth year of the reign of Josiah's son King Jehoiakim of Judah, this message came to Jeremiah from the LORD: In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD: In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 |Take a scroll and write on it all the words that I've spoken to you about Israel, about Judah, and about all the nations, since I first spoke to you in the time of Josiah until the present time. “Take a scroll and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah and all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah until today. “Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah and all the other nations from the time I began speaking to you in the reign of Josiah till now.
3 Perhaps the house of Judah will hear about all the calamity that I'm planning to bring on them, and so each of them will turn from his wicked way and I'll forgive their iniquities and sins.| It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the disaster that I intend to do to them, so that every one may turn from his evil way, and that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.” Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about every disaster I plan to inflict on them, they will each turn from their wicked ways; then I will forgive their wickedness and their sin.”
4 Jeremiah summoned Neriah's son Baruch and at Jeremiah's dictation, Baruch wrote on the scroll all the words of the LORD that he had spoken to him. Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD that he had spoken to him. So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and while Jeremiah dictated all the words the LORD had spoken to him, Baruch wrote them on the scroll.
5 Jeremiah instructed Baruch, |I'm confined and can't go to the LORD's Temple. And Jeremiah ordered Baruch, saying, “I am banned from going to the house of the LORD, Then Jeremiah told Baruch, “I am restricted; I am not allowed to go to the LORD’s temple.
6 You go and read the words of the LORD that you wrote at my dictation from the scroll. Read them to the people at the LORD's Temple on the fast day. Also read them to all the people of Judah who are coming from their towns. so you are to go, and on a day of fasting in the hearing of all the people in the LORD’s house you shall read the words of the LORD from the scroll that you have written at my dictation. You shall read them also in the hearing of all the men of Judah who come out of their cities. So you go to the house of the LORD on a day of fasting and read to the people from the scroll the words of the LORD that you wrote as I dictated. Read them to all the people of Judah who come in from their towns.
7 Perhaps their pleas for help will come to the LORD's attention, and each of them will turn from his evil lifestyle in light of the great anger and wrath that the LORD has declared against this people.| It may be that their plea for mercy will come before the LORD, and that every one will turn from his evil way, for great is the anger and wrath that the LORD has pronounced against this people.” Perhaps they will bring their petition before the LORD and will each turn from their wicked ways, for the anger and wrath pronounced against this people by the LORD are great.”
8 So Neriah's son Baruch did just as Jeremiah the prophet instructed him, reading the words of the LORD from the scroll at the LORD's Temple.

Baruch son of Neriah did everything Jeremiah the prophet told him to do; at the LORD’s temple he read the words of the LORD from the scroll.

13 Micaiah told them all the things that he had heard when Baruch read from the scroll to the people. And Micaiah told them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the scroll in the hearing of the people. After Micaiah told them everything he had heard Baruch read to the people from the scroll,
14 Then all the officials sent Nethaniah's son Jehudi, (who was also the grandson of Shelemiah and Cushi's great-grandson), to Baruch, who said, |Take the scroll that you read to the people and come.| Neriah's son Baruch took the scroll with him and went to them. Then all the officials sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, to say to Baruch, “Take in your hand the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them. all the officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to say to Baruch, “Bring the scroll from which you have read to the people and come.” So Baruch son of Neriah went to them with the scroll in his hand.
15 They told him, |Please sit down and read it to us.| So Baruch read it to them. And they said to him, “Sit down and read it.” So Baruch read it to them. They said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it to us.” So Baruch read it to them.
16 When they heard all the words, they turned to one another in fear, saying to Baruch, |We must report all these things to the king.| When they heard all the words, they turned one to another in fear. And they said to Baruch, “We must report all these words to the king.” When they heard all these words, they looked at each other in fear and said to Baruch, “We must report all these words to the king.”
17 Then they asked Baruch, |Please tell us how you wrote all the words. Did Jeremiah dictate them all?| Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, please, how did you write all these words? Was it at his dictation?” Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, how did you come to write all this? Did Jeremiah dictate it?”
18 Baruch answered them, |Yes, Jeremiah dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them in the scroll with ink.| Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me, while I wrote them with ink on the scroll.” “Yes,” Baruch replied, “he dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.”
19 Then the officials told Baruch, |Go, hide yourself, both you and Jeremiah, and don't let anyone know where you are.| Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are.” Then the officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah, go and hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.”
20 The officials went to the king in the courtyard, but they deposited the scroll in the office of Elishama the scribe. Then they reported everything written on the scroll to the king. So they went into the court to the king, having put the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the secretary, and they reported all the words to the king. After they put the scroll in the room of Elishama the secretary, they went to the king in the courtyard and reported everything to him.
21 The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the office of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it to the king and to all the officials who were standing beside the king.

It was the ninth month, and the king was sitting in the winter house, and there was a fire burning in the fire pot before him. It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in the winter apartment, with a fire burning in the firepot in front of him.
23 As Jehudi would read three or four columns, the king would cut it with a scribe's knife and throw it into the fire which was in the stove, until all the scroll was burned in the fire in the stove. As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot. Whenever Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll, the king cut them off with a scribe’s knife and threw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll was burned in the fire.

Yet neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words was afraid, nor did they tear their garments.

28 |Go back, take another scroll and write on it all the original words which were on the scroll that Jehoiakim, king of Judah, burned. “Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned. “Take another scroll and write on it all the words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up.
29 Concerning Jehoiakim, king of Judah, you are to say, 'This is what the LORD says: |You burned this scroll, all the while saying, 'Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon will definitely come, destroy this land, and eliminate both people and animals from it?'| And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Thus says the LORD, You have burned this scroll, saying, “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?” Also tell Jehoiakim king of Judah, ‘This is what the LORD says: You burned that scroll and said, “Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon would certainly come and destroy this land and wipe from it both man and beast?”
30 Therefore, this is what the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim, king of Judah, |He will have no one to sit on the throne of David, and his corpse will be thrown out to rot during the heat of the day and the frost of the night. Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day and the frost by night. Therefore this is what the LORD says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on the throne of David; his body will be thrown out and exposed to the heat by day and the frost by night.
31 I'll punish him, his descendants, and his officials for their iniquity. I'll bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah all the calamity about which I've warned them, but they would not listen.|'| 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.’” I will punish him and his children and his attendants for their wickedness; I will bring on them and those living in Jerusalem and the people of Judah every disaster I pronounced against them, because they have not listened.’”
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Neriah's son Baruch the scribe. He wrote on it, at Jeremiah's dictation, all the words of the book that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned in the fire. He also added to them many similar words. Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who 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. So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and as Jeremiah dictated, Baruch wrote on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
