  • So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote on it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and many additional words were added to them.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying:

Take for yourself a scroll of a book, and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you concerning Israel and Judah and all the nations, from the day I first spoke to you until this day.

Perhaps when the house of Judah hears all the disaster that I have planned to bring upon them they will each turn from their evil way; then I will relent of the punishment and forgive their sin and iniquity. And Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote from Jeremiah's mouth all the words of the LORD that he had spoken to him on a scroll. And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, 'I am confined; I cannot go into the house of the LORD.

You go, therefore, and you shall read from the scroll the words of the LORD in the hearing of the people in the house of the LORD on the day of fasting; and in the hearing of all Judah who come from their cities to Jerusalem you shall read them aloud.

Perhaps their petition will come before the LORD, and each will turn from his evil way; for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people.' So Baruch the son of Neriah did all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him to do, reading in the scroll the words of the LORD in the house of the LORD.

In the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, they proclaimed a fast before the LORD all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem. And Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the scroll in the house of the LORD in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court at the entrance of the New Gate of the LORD's house, in the hearing of all the people.

When Micaiah the son of Gemariah the son of Shaphan heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll,

the king's household went down to the scribe's chamber; and behold, all the princes were sitting there—Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes. And Micaiah reported to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read the scroll in the hearing of the people.

Then all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to take the scroll which Baruch had read in the hearing of the people; and Jehudi took the scroll from Baruch's hand and came in to them. And they said to him, 'Take it, please, and read it.' So Jehudi read it in their hearing.

When they had heard all the words, they feared one to another, and they said to Baruch, 'Declare it— we will report all these words to the king.' And they asked Baruch, 'Now tell us, how did you write all these words from his mouth?'

Baruch answered them, 'He called me, and he declared all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink on a scroll.'

Then the princes said to Baruch, 'You and Jeremiah be silent; and let no one know where you are.' So they went to the king's court and deposited the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and they told the king all the words.

Then the king sent Jehudi to fetch the scroll; and Jehudi took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe and read it in the hearing of the king and of all the princes who stood beside the king. Now the king sat in the winter house in the ninth month, and a fire was burning on the hearth before him.

As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king cut it with the scribe's knife and threw it into the fire on the hearth until the entire scroll was consumed by the fire that was on the hearth.

Yet neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words were afraid, nor did they tear their garments. But Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll; and the king paid no heed to them.

Then the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them. Now the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah after the king had burned the scroll and the words that Baruch had written from Jeremiah's mouth, saying,

Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned. And you shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, 'Thus says the LORD: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon shall come and destroy this land and cut off from it man and beast?'

Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have no one to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be exposed to the heat by day and to the frost by night.

I will punish him, his offspring, and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because they did not heed my words.' So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the son of Neriah the scribe; and Baruch wrote on it at Jeremiah's dictation all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire, and many other words were added to them besides.
