Jeremiah 36:11–19

¹¹When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll, ¹²he went down to the king’s house, into the secretary’s chamber; and all the princes were sitting there: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes. ¹³And Micaiah told them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the scroll in the hearing of the people. ¹⁴Then all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, to say to Baruch, “Take in your hand the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them. ¹⁵And they said to him, “Sit down and read it.” So Baruch read it to them. ¹⁶When they heard all the words, they turned one to another in fear; and they said to Baruch, “We must report all these words to the king.” ¹⁷Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, how did you write all these words? Was it at his dictation?” ¹⁸Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me, while I wrote them with ink on the scroll.” ¹⁹Then the princes said to Baruch, “Go and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are.”
