Jeremiah 36:11–19

¹¹Now when ^aMicaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord from the book,

¹²he went down to the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber. And behold, all the officials were sitting there—^aElishama the scribe, and ^bDelaiah the son of Shemaiah, and ^cElnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.

¹³Micaiah ^adeclared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the book to the people.

¹⁴Then all the officials sent ^aJehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll from which you have read to the people and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah ^btook the scroll in his hand and went to them.

¹⁵They said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it to us.” So Baruch ^aread it to them.

¹⁶When they had heard all the words, they turned in ^afear one to another and said to Baruch, “We will surely ^breport all these words to the king.”

¹⁷And they asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us, please, ^ahow did you write all these words? Was it ¹at his dictation?”

¹⁸Then Baruch said to them, “He ^adictated all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink on the book.”

¹⁹Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go, ^ahide yourself, you and Jeremiah, and do not let anyone know where you are.”
