Jeremiah 36:11–19

¹¹When Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of Yahweh from the scroll, ¹²he went down to the house of the king, to the chamber of the secretary, and look, all the officials were sitting there: Elishama the secretary, 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 other officials. ¹³And Micaiah told them all the words that he had heard at the reading aloud of Baruch from the scroll in the hearing of the people.

¹⁴Then all the officials sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying,^j “The scroll that you read aloud from in the hearing of the people, take it in your hand and come.” And Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and he came to them. ¹⁵And they said to him, “Sit please and read it aloud in our hearing.” So Baruch read aloud in their hearing. ¹⁶And then,^k the moment of their hearing all the words, they turned to one another in alarm^l and they said to Baruch, “We must certainly report all these words to the king!” ¹⁷Then they asked Baruch, saying,^m “Tell us please, how did you write all these words, from his mouth?” ¹⁸And Baruch said to them, “From his mouth. He dictated to me all these words and I was writing on the scroll with the ink.” ¹⁹Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go, hide yourself, you and Jeremiah, and let not a man know where you are.”
