Jeremiah 36:11–19

¹¹When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of ^qShaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord, ¹²Then he went down into the king’s house, into ^rthe scribe’s chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even ^uElishama ^rthe scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and ^vElnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of ^qShaphan, and Zedekiah the son of ^wHananiah, and all the princes. ¹³Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people. ¹⁴Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of ^xShelemiah, 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. ¹⁵And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears. ¹⁶Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, ^ythey were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words. ¹⁷And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth? ¹⁸Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and ^zI wrote them with ink in the book. ¹⁹Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.
