Book 24 Jeremiah Chapter 036

 

036:001And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of
Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from
the LORD, saying,

 

036:002Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words
that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against
Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto
thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.

 

036:003It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which
I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from
his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

 

036:004Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch
wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD,
which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.

 

036:005And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot
go into the house of the LORD:

 

036:006Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast
written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of
the people in the LORD's house upon the fasting day: and also
thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of
their cities.

 

036:007It may be they will present their supplication before the
LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great
is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced
against this people.

 

036:008And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that
Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the
words of the LORD in the LORD's house.

 

036:009And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of
Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed
a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to
all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto
Jerusalem.

 

036:010Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the
house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of
Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the
new gate of the LORD's house, in the ears of all the people.

 

036:011When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had
heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,

 

036:012Then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's
chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the
scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son
of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the
son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

 

036:013Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had
heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

 

036:014Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah,
the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying,
Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears
of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the
roll in his hand, and came unto them.

 

036:015And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears.
So Baruch read it in their ears.

 

036:016Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they
were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will
surely tell the king of all these words.

 

036:017And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou
write all these words at his mouth?

 

036:018Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto
me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

 

036:019Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and
Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.

 

036:020And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up
the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all
the words in the ears of the king.

 

036:021So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out
of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the
ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which
stood beside the king.

 

036:022Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and
there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.

 

036:023And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four
leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire
that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the
fire that was on the hearth.

 

036:024Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the
king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

 

036:025Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made
intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but
he would not hear them.

 

036:026But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, 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.

 

036:027Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the
king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at
the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

 

036:028Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former
words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of
Judah hath burned.

 

036:029And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the
LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou
written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly
come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from
thence man and beast?

 

036:030Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He
shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead
body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the
night to the frost.

 

036:031And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their
iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I
have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.

 

036:032Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the
scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of
Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of
Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides
unto them many like words.
