Bible. Jeremiah
24:036:008 And 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.
24:036:009 And 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.
24:036:010 Then 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.
24:036:011 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had
heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,
24:036:012 Then 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.
24:036:013 Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had
heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
24:036:014 Therefore 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.
24:036:015 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears.
So Baruch read it in their ears.
24:036:016 Now 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.
24:036:017 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou
write all these words at his mouth?
24:036:018 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto
me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
24:036:019 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and
Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.
24:036:020 And 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.
24:036:021 So 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.
