036:026 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 Yahweh hid them.
036:027 Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, after that the king
had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote
at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
036:028 Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former
words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king
of Judah has burned.
036:029 Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say,
Thus says Yahweh: You have burned this scroll, saying,
Why have you written therein, saying, The king of Babylon
shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause

036:030 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim king

and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat,
and in the night to the frost.
036:031 I will punish him and his seed 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
