Take [03947] thee a roll [04039] of a book [05612], and write [03789] therein all the words [01697] that I have spoken [01696] unto thee against Israel [03478], and against Judah [03063], and against all the nations [01471], from the day [03117] I spake [01696] unto thee, from the days [03117] of Josiah [02977], even unto this day [03117].
Then Jeremiah [03414] called [07121] Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374]: and Baruch [01263] wrote [03789] from the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414] all the words [01697] of the Lord [03068], which he had spoken [01696] unto him, upon a roll [04039] of a book [05612].
Therefore go [0935] thou, and read [07121] in the roll [04039], which thou hast written [03789] from my mouth [06310], the words [01697] of the Lord [03068] in the ears [0241] of the people [05971] in the Lord's [03068] house [01004] upon the fasting [06685] day [03117]: and also thou shalt read [07121] them in the ears [0241] of all Judah [03063] that come out [0935] of their cities [05892].
Therefore all the princes [08269] sent [07971] Jehudi [03065] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418], the son [01121] of Shelemiah [08018], the son [01121] of Cushi [03570], unto Baruch [01263], saying [0559], Take [03947] in thine hand [03027] the roll [04039] wherein thou hast read [07121] in the ears [0241] of the people [05971], and come [03212]. So Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374] took [03947] the roll [04039] in his hand [03027], and came [0935] unto them.
And they went in [0935] to the king [04428] into the court [02691], but they laid up [06485] the roll [04039] in the chamber [03957] of Elishama [0476] the scribe [05608], and told [05046] all the words [01697] in the ears [0241] of the king [04428].
So the king [04428] sent [07971] Jehudi [03065] to fetch [03947] the roll [04039]: and he took [03947] it out of Elishama [0476] the scribe's [05608] chamber [03957]. And Jehudi [03065] read [07121] it in the ears [0241] of the king [04428], and in the ears [0241] of all the princes [08269] which stood [05975] beside [05921] the king [04428].
And it came to pass, that when Jehudi [03065] had read [07121] three [07969] or four [0702] leaves [01817], he cut [07167] it with the penknife [05608] [08593], and cast [07993] it into the fire [0784] that was on the hearth [0254], until all the roll [04039] was consumed [08552] in the fire [0784] that was on the hearth [0254].
Nevertheless Elnathan [0494] and Delaiah [01806] and Gemariah [01587] had made intercession [06293] to the king [04428] that he would not burn [08313] the roll [04039]: but he would not hear [08085] them.
Then the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414], after [0310] that the king [04428] had burned [08313] the roll [04039], and the words [01697] which Baruch [01263] wrote [03789] at the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
Take [03947] thee again [07725] another [0312] roll [04039], and write [03789] in it all the former [07223] words [01697] that were in the first [07223] roll [04039], which Jehoiakim [03079] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] hath burned [08313].
And thou shalt say [0559] to Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; Thou hast burned [08313] this roll [04039], saying [0559], Why hast thou written [03789] therein, saying [0559], The king [04428] of Babylon [0894] shall certainly [0935] come [0935] and destroy [07843] this land [0776], and shall cause to cease [07673] from thence man [0120] and beast [0929]?
Then took [03947] Jeremiah [03414] another [0312] roll [04039], and gave [05414] it to Baruch [01263] the scribe [05608], the son [01121] of Neriah [05374]; who wrote [03789] therein from the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414] all the words [01697] of the book [05612] which Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] had burned [08313] in the fire [0784]: and there were added [03254] besides unto them many [07227] like [01992] words [01697].like: Heb. as they
