Jeremiah 36:4-14

4 Then Jeremiah called ^aBaruch the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote on a ¹^bscroll ²at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of Yahweh which He had spoken to him. 5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am ¹^aconfined; I cannot go into the house of Yahweh. 6 So you shall go and ^aread from the scroll, which you have ^bwritten ¹at my dictation, the words of Yahweh ²in the hearing of the people in the house of Yahweh on a ^cfast day. And also you shall read them in the hearing of all the people of Judah who come from their cities. 7 ^aPerhaps their supplication will ¹come before Yahweh, and everyone will turn from his evil way, for ^bgreat is the anger and the wrath that Yahweh has spoken against this people.” 8 So Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, ^areading from the book the words of Yahweh in the house of Yahweh.
9 Now it happened in the ^afifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ^bninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who ^ccame from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem called for a ^dfast before Yahweh. 10 Then Baruch read from the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Yahweh in the ^achamber of ^bGemariah the son of Shaphan the ^cscribe, in the upper court, at the ^dentry of the New Gate of the house of Yahweh, in the hearing of all the people.
11 Then ^aMicaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of Yahweh from the book. 12 And he 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. 13 And Micaiah ^adeclared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the book in the hearing of the people. 14 Then 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 in the hearing of the people and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah ^btook the scroll in his hand and went to them.
