VERSION OF
The
Holy Bible book of
Jeremiah
Chapter Thirty-Six
1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king
of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have
spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the
nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto
this day.
3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to
do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may
forgive their iniquity and their sin.
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the
mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him,
upon a roll of a book.
5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the
house of the LORD:
6 Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my
mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD’S house
upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah
that come out of their cities.
7 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will
return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that
the LORD hath pronounced against this people.
8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet
commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD’S house.
9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of
Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all
the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of
Judah unto Jerusalem.
10 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the
LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher
court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD’S house, in the ears of all
the people.
11 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the
book all the words of the LORD,
12 Then he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber: and,
lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, 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 princes.
13 Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when
Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of
Shelemiah, 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.
15 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch
read it in their ears.
16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid
both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all
these words.
17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these
words at his mouth?
18 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his
mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and
let no man know where ye be.
20 And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in
the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the
king.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama
the scribe’s chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the
ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
22 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a
fire on the hearth burning before him.
23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut
it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until
all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor
any of his servants that heard all these words.
25 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the
king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.
26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son
of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and
Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD hid them.
27 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned
the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
28 Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that
were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
29 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou
hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king
of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to
cease from thence man and beast?
30 Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have
none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in
the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
31 And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and
I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the
men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they
hearkened not.
32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son
of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the
book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were
added besides unto them many like words.
