036:010 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Yahweh, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan, the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Yahweh's house, in the ears of all the people. 036:011 When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of Yahweh, 036:012 he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and behold, all the princes were sitting there, [to wit], 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. 036:013 Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people. 036:014 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them. 036:015 They said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears. 036:016 Now it happened, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words. 036:017 They asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How did you write all these words at his mouth? 036:018 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book. 036:019 Then said the princes to Baruch, Go, hide you, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are. 036:020 They went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king. 036:021 So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood beside the king. 036:022 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month: and [there was a fire in] the brazier burning before him. 036:023 It happened, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that [the king] cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. 036:024 They were not afraid, nor tore their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words. 036:025 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not hear them.
