Jeremiah 36

Jeremiah's Scroll Read in the Temple

1

In the  afourthh7243 yearh8141 of Jehoiakimh3079 the sonh1121 of Josiahh2977, kingh4428 of Judahh3063, thish2088 wordh1697 cameh1961 to Jeremiahh3414 from the LORDh3068, sayingh559,

2

"Takeh3947 a  1 ascrollh4039h5612 and writeh3789 on it allh3605 the  bwordsh1697 whichh834 I have spokenh1696 to you concerningh5921  cIsraelh3478 and concerningh5921 Judahh3063, and concerningh5921 allh3605 the  dnationsh1471, from the  edayh3117 I first spokeh1696 to you, from the daysh3117 of Josiahh2977, even to thish2088 dayh3117.

3

aPerhapsh194 the househ1004 of Judahh3063 will hearh8085 allh3605 the calamityh7463a whichh834 I planh2803 to bringh6213a on them, in orderh4616 that everyh376 manh376 will  bturnh7725 from his evilh7451a wayh1870; then I will  cforgiveh5545 their iniquityh5771 and their sinh2403b."

4

Then Jeremiahh3414 calledh7121  aBaruchh1263 the sonh1121 of Neriahh5374, and Baruchh1263 wroteh3789 on a  1 bscrollh4039h5612  2at the dictationh6310 of Jeremiahh3414 allh3605 the wordsh1697 of the LORDh3068 whichh834 He had spokenh1696 to him.

5

Jeremiahh3414 commandedh6680 Baruchh1263, sayingh559, "I am  1 arestrictedh6113; I cannoth3201h3808 goh935 into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

6

"So you goh935 and  areadh7121 from the scrollh4039 whichh834 you have  bwrittenh3789  1at my dictationh6310 the wordsh1697 of the LORDh3068  2to the peopleh5971a in the LORD'Sh3068 househ1004 on a  cfasth6685 dayh3117. And alsoh1571 you shall readh7121 them  2to allh3605 the people of Judahh3063 who comeh935 from their citiesh5892b.

7

aPerhapsh194 their supplicationh8467 will  1comeh5307 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068, and everyoneh376 will turnh7725 from his evilh7451a wayh1870, for  bgreath1419 is the angerh639 and the wrathh2534 that the LORDh3068 has pronouncedh1696 againsth413 thish2088 peopleh5971a."

8

Baruchh1263 the sonh1121 of Neriahh5374 didh6213a according to allh3605 that Jeremiahh3414 the propheth5030 commandedh6680 him,  areadingh7121 from the bookh5612 the wordsh1697 of the LORDh3068 in the LORD'Sh3068 househ1004.

9

Now in the  afifthh2549 yearh8141 of Jehoiakimh3079 the sonh1121 of Josiahh2977, kingh4428 of Judahh3063, in the  bninthh8671 monthh2320, allh3605 the peopleh5971a in Jerusalemh3389 and allh3605 the peopleh5971a who  ccameh935 from the citiesh5892b of Judahh3063 to Jerusalemh3389 proclaimedh7121 a  dfasth6685 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068.

10

Then Baruchh1263 readh7121 from the bookh5612 the wordsh1697 of Jeremiahh3414 in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 in the  achamberh3957 of  bGemariahh1587 the sonh1121 of Shaphanh8227b the  cscribeh5613b, in the upperh5945a courth2691a, at the  dentryh6607 of the Newh2319 Gateh8179 of the LORD'Sh3068 househ1004, to allh3605 the peopleh5971a.

11

Now when  aMicaiahh4321 the sonh1121 of Gemariahh1587, the sonh1121 of Shaphanh8227b, had heardh8085 allh3605 the wordsh1697 of the LORDh3068 from the bookh5612,

12

he wenth3381 downh3381 to the king'sh4428 househ1004, into the scribe'sh5613b chamberh3957. And beholdh2009, allh3605 the officialsh8269 were sittingh3427 thereh8033-- aElishamah476 the scribeh5613b, and  bDelaiahh1806 the sonh1121 of Shemaiahh8098, and  cElnathanh494 the sonh1121 of Achborh5907, and Gemariahh1587 the sonh1121 of Shaphanh8227b, and Zedekiahh6667 the sonh1121 of Hananiahh2608a, and allh3605 the other officialsh8269.

13

Micaiahh4321  adeclaredh5046 to them allh3605 the wordsh1697 that he had heardh8085 when Baruchh1263 readh7121 from the bookh5612 to the peopleh5971a.

14

Then allh3605 the officialsh8269 senth7971  aJehudih3065 the sonh1121 of Nethaniahh5418, the sonh1121 of Shelemiahh8018, the sonh1121 of Cushih3570, to Baruchh1263, sayingh559, "Takeh3947 in your handh3027 the scrollh4039 from whichh834 you have readh7121 to the peopleh5971a and comeh1980." So Baruchh1263 the sonh1121 of Neriahh5374  btookh3947 the scrollh4039 in his handh3027 and wenth935 to them.

15

They saidh559 to him, "Sith3427 downh3427, pleaseh4994, and readh7121 it to us." So Baruchh1263  areadh7121 it to them.

16

When they had heardh8085 allh3605 the wordsh1697, they turnedh6342 in  afearh6342 oneh376 to anotherh7453 and saidh559 to Baruchh1263, "We will surelyh5046  breporth5046 allh3605 theseh428 wordsh1697 to the kingh4428."

17

And they askedh7592 Baruchh1263, sayingh559, "Tellh5046 us, pleaseh4994,  ahowh349 did you writeh3789 allh3605 theseh428 wordsh1697? Was it  1at his dictationh6310?"

18

Then Baruchh1263 saidh559 to them, "He  adictatedh4480h6310h7121 allh3605 theseh428 wordsh1697 to me, and I wroteh3789 them with inkh1773 on the bookh5612."

19

Then the officialsh8269 saidh559 to Baruchh1263, "Goh1980,  ahideh5641 yourself, you and Jeremiahh3414, and do not let anyone knowh3045 whereh375 you are."

The Scroll Is Burned

20

So they wenth935 to the  akingh4428 in the courth2691a, but they had depositedh6485 the scrollh4039 in the chamberh3957 of  aElishamah476 the scribeh5613b, and they reportedh5046h241 allh3605 the wordsh1697 to the kingh4428.

21

Then the kingh4428 senth7971 Jehudih3065 to geth3947 the scrollh4039, and he tookh3947 it out of the chamberh3957 of Elishamah476 the scribeh5613b. And Jehudih3065  areadh7121 it to the kingh4428 as well as to allh3605 the officialsh8269 who stoodh5975 besideh4480h5921 the kingh4428.

22

Now the kingh4428 was sittingh3427 in the  awinterh2779 househ1004 in the  bninthh8671 monthh2320, with a fire burningh1197a in the brazierh254 beforeh6440 him.

23

When Jehudih3065 had readh7121 threeh7969 or fourh702 columnsh1817, the king cuth7167 it with a scribe'sh5613b knifeh8593 and  athrewh7993 it into the fireh784 that was in the brazierh254, untilh5704 allh3605 the scrollh4039 was consumedh8552 in the fireh784 that was in the brazierh254.

24

Yet the kingh4428 and allh3605 his servantsh5650 who heardh8085 allh3605 theseh428 wordsh1697 were  anot afraidh6342, norh3808 did they  brendh7167 their garmentsh899b.

25

Even thoughh1571 Elnathanh494 and Delaiahh1806 and Gemariahh1587  apleadedh6293 with the kingh4428 not to burnh8313 the scrollh4039, he would not listenh8085 to them.

26

And the kingh4428 commandedh6680 Jerahmeelh3396 the king'sh4428 sonh1121, Seraiahh8304 the sonh1121 of Azrielh5837, and Shelemiahh8018 the sonh1121 of Abdeelh5655 to  aseizeh3947 Baruchh1263 the scribeh5613b and Jeremiahh3414 the propheth5030, but the  bLORDh3068 hidh5641 them.

The Scroll Is Replaced

27

Then the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to Jeremiahh3414 afterh310 the kingh4428 had  aburnedh8313 the scrollh4039 and the wordsh1697 whichh834  bBaruchh1263 had writtenh3789 at the dictationh6310 of Jeremiahh3414, sayingh559,

28

aTakeh3947 againh7725 anotherh312 scrollh4039 and writeh3789 on it allh3605 the formerh7223 wordsh1697 that were  bon the firsth7223 scrollh4039 whichh834 Jehoiakimh3079 the kingh4428 of Judahh3063 burnedh8313.

29

"And concerningh5921 Jehoiakimh3079 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 you shall sayh559, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "You have  aburnedh8313 thish384 scrollh4039, sayingh559, ` bWhyh4069 have you writtenh3789 on it  1that the  ckingh4428 of Babylonh894 will certainlyh935 comeh935 and destroyh7843 thish384 landh776, and will make manh120 and beasth929 to ceaseh7673a from it?' "

30

`Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 concerningh5921 Jehoiakimh3079 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, "He shall haveh1961  anoh3808 one to sith3427 on the throneh3678 of Davidh1732, and his  bdeadh5038 bodyh5038 shall be casth7993 out to the heath2721a of the dayh3117 and the frosth7140 of the nighth3915.

31

"I will also  apunishh6485 him and his  1descendantsh2233 and his servantsh5650 for their iniquityh5771, and I will  bbringh935 on them and the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389 and the menh376 of Judahh3063 allh3605 the calamityh7463a that I have declaredh1696 to them--but they did not listenh8085.""'

32

Then Jeremiahh3414 tookh3947 anotherh312 scrollh4039 and gaveh5414 it to Baruchh1263 the sonh1121 of Neriahh5374, the scribeh5613b, and he  awroteh3789 on it at the dictationh6310 of Jeremiahh3414 allh3605 the wordsh1697 of the bookh5612 whichh834 Jehoiakimh3079 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 had burnedh8313 in the fireh784; and manyh7227a  1similar wordsh1697 were addedh3254 to them.
