Jeremiah 36

1 Jeremiah causeth Baruch to write his prophecy, 5 and publickly to read it. 11 The princes, having intelligence thereof by Michaiah, send Jehudi to fetch the roll, and read it. 19 They will Baruch to hide himself and Jeremiah. 20 The king Jehoiakim, being certified thereof, heareth part of it, and burneth the roll. 27 Jeremiah denounceth his judgment. 32 Baruch writeth a new copy.

 36:1 ¶ And it came to pass x1961 in the fourth 7243 year 8141 of Jehoiakim 3079 the son 1121 of Josiah 2977 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 [that] this x2088 word 1697 came x1961 unto x413 Jeremiah 3414 from x4480 x854 the LORD, 3068 saying, 559 z8800

 36:2 Take 3947 z8798 thee a roll 4039 of a book, 5612 and write 3789 z8804 therein x413 x853 all x3605 the words 1697 that x834 I have spoken 1696 z8765 unto x413 thee against x5921 Israel, 3478 and against x5921 Judah, 3063 and against x5921 all x3605 the nations, 1471 from the day 3117 x4480 I spake 1696 z8765 unto x413 thee, from the days 3117 x4480 of Josiah, 2977 even unto x5704 this x2088 day. 3117

 36:3 It may be that x194 the house 1004 of Judah 3063 will hear 8085 z8799 x853 all x3605 the evil 7451 which x834 I x595 purpose 2803 z8802 to do 6213 z8800 unto them; that x4616 they may return 7725 z8799 every man 376 from his evil 7451 way; 1870 x4480 that I may forgive 5545 z8804 their iniquity 5771 and their sin. 2403

 36:4 Then Jeremiah 3414 called 7121 z8799 x853 Baruch 1263 the son 1121 of Neriah: 5374 and Baruch 1263 wrote 3789 z8799 from the mouth 6310 x4480 of Jeremiah 3414 x853 all x3605 the words 1697 of the LORD, 3068 which x834 he had spoken 1696 z8765 unto x413 him, upon x5921 a roll 4039 of a book. 5612

 36:5 And Jeremiah 3414 commanded 6680 z8762 x853 Baruch, 1263 saying, 559 z8800 I x589 [am] shut up; 6113 z8803 I cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 go 935 z8800 into the house 1004 of the LORD: 3068

 36:6 Therefore go 935 z8804 thou, x859 and read 7121 z8804 in the roll, 4039 which x834 thou hast written 3789 z8804 from my mouth, 6310 x4480 x853 the words 1697 of the LORD 3068 in the ears 241 of the people 5971 in the LORD'S 3068 house 1004 upon the fasting 6685 day: 3117 and also x1571 thou shalt read 7121 z8799 them in the ears 241 of all x3605 Judah 3063 that come x935 out y935 z8802 of their cities. 5892 x4480

 36:7 It may be x194 they will present 5307 z8799 their supplication 8467 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 and will return 7725 z8799 every one 376 from his evil 7451 way: 1870 x4480 for x3588 great 1419 [is] the anger 639 and the fury 2534 that x834 the LORD 3068 hath pronounced 1696 z8765 against x413 this x2088 people. 5971

 36:8 And Baruch 1263 the son 1121 of Neriah 5374 did 6213 z8799 according to all x3605 that x834 Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 commanded 6680 z8765 him, reading 7121 z8800 in the book 5612 the words 1697 of the LORD 3068 in the LORD'S 3068 house. 1004

 36:9 And it came to pass x1961 in the fifth 2549 year 8141 of Jehoiakim 3079 the son 1121 of Josiah 2977 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 in the ninth 8671 month, 2320 [that] they proclaimed 7121 z8804 a fast 6685 before 6440 the LORD 3068 to all x3605 the people 5971 in Jerusalem, 3389 and to all x3605 the people 5971 that came 935 z8802 from the cities 5892 x4480 of Judah 3063 unto Jerusalem. 3389

 36:10 Then read 7121 z8799 Baruch 1263 in the book 5612 x853 the words 1697 of Jeremiah 3414 in the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 in the chamber 3957 of Gemariah 1587 the son 1121 of Shaphan 8227 the scribe, 5608 z8802 in the higher 5945 court, 2691 at the entry 6607 of the new 2319 gate 8179 of the LORD'S 3068 house, 1004 in the ears 241 of all x3605 the people. 5971

 36:11 ¶ When Michaiah 4321 the son 1121 of Gemariah, 1587 the son 1121 of Shaphan, 8227 had heard 8085 z8799 out of x4480 x5921 the book 5612 x853 all x3605 the words 1697 of the LORD, 3068

 36:12 Then he went down 3381 z8799 into x5921 the king's 4428 house, 1004 into x5921 the scribe's 5608 z8802 chamber: 3957 and, lo, x2009 all x3605 the princes 8269 sat 3427 z8802 there, x8033 [even] Elishama 476 the scribe, 5608 z8802 and Delaiah 1806 the son 1121 of Shemaiah, 8098 and Elnathan 494 the son 1121 of Achbor, 5907 and Gemariah 1587 the son 1121 of Shaphan, 8227 and Zedekiah 6667 the son 1121 of Hananiah, 2608 and all x3605 the princes. 8269

 36:13 Then Michaiah 4321 declared 5046 z8686 unto them x853 all x3605 the words 1697 that x834 he had heard, 8085 z8804 when Baruch 1263 read 7121 z8800 the book 5612 in the ears 241 of the people. 5971

 36:14 Therefore all x3605 the princes 8269 sent 7971 z8799 x853 Jehudi 3065 the son 1121 of Nethaniah, 5418 the son 1121 of Shelemiah, 8018 the son 1121 of Cushi, 3570 unto x413 Baruch, 1263 saying, 559 z8800 Take 3947 z8798 in thine hand 3027 the roll 4039 wherein x834 thou hast read 7121 z8804 in the ears 241 of the people, 5971 and come. y3212 z8798 x1980 So Baruch 1263 the son 1121 of Neriah 5374 took 3947 z8799 x853 the roll 4039 in his hand, 3027 and came 935 z8799 unto x413 them.

 36:15 And they said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Sit down 3427 z8798 now, x4994 and read 7121 z8798 it in our ears. 241 So Baruch 1263 read 7121 z8799 [it] in their ears. 241

 36:16 Now it came to pass, x1961 when they had heard 8085 z8800 x853 all x3605 the words, 1697 they were afraid 6342 z8804 both 413 one 376 and other, 7453 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 Baruch, 1263 We will surely y5046 z8687 tell 5046 z8686 the king 4428 of x853 all x3605 these x428 words. 1697

 36:17 And they asked 7592 z8804 Baruch, 1263 saying, 559 z8800 Tell 5046 z8685 us now, x4994 How x349 didst thou write 3789 z8804 x853 all x3605 these x428 words 1697 at his mouth? 6310 x4480

 36:18 Then Baruch 1263 answered 559 z8799 them, He pronounced 7121 z8799 x853 all x3605 these x428 words 1697 unto x413 me with his mouth, 6310 x4480 and I x589 wrote 3789 z8802 [them] with ink 1773 in x5921 the book. 5612

 36:19 Then said 559 z8799 the princes 8269 unto x413 Baruch, 1263 Go, y3212 z8798 x1980 hide 5641 z8734 thee, thou x859 and Jeremiah; 3414 and let no x408 man 376 know 3045 z8799 where 375 ye be.

 36:20 ¶ And they went in 935 z8799 to x413 the king 4428 into the court, 2691 but they laid up 6485 z8689 the roll 4039 in the chamber 3957 of Elishama 476 the scribe, 5608 z8802 and told 5046 z8686 x853 all x3605 the words 1697 in the ears 241 of the king. 4428

 36:21 So the king 4428 sent 7971 z8799 x853 Jehudi 3065 to fetch 3947 z8800 x853 the roll: 4039 and he took 3947 z8799 it out of Elishama 476 the scribe's 5608 z8802 chamber. 3957 x4480 And Jehudi 3065 read 7121 z8799 it in the ears 241 of the king, 4428 and in the ears 241 of all x3605 the princes 8269 which stood 5975 z8802 beside 5921 x4480 the king. 4428

 36:22 Now the king 4428 sat 3427 z8802 in the winterhouse 1004 2779 in the ninth 8671 month: 2320 and [there was a fire] on the hearth 254 burning 1197 z8794 before 6440 him.

 36:23 And it came to pass, x1961 [that] when Jehudi 3065 had read 7121 z8800 three 7969 or four 702 leaves, 1817 he cut 7167 z8799 it with the penknife, 8593 5608 z8802 and cast 7993 z8687 [it] into x413 the fire 784 that x834 [was] on x413 the hearth, 254 until x5704 all x3605 the roll 4039 was consumed 8552 z8800 in x5921 the fire 784 that x834 [was] on x5921 the hearth. 254

 36:24 Yet they were not x3808 afraid, 6342 z8804 nor x3808 rent 7167 z8804 x853 their garments, 899 [neither] the king, 4428 nor any x3605 of his servants 5650 that heard 8085 z8802 x853 all x3605 these x428 words. 1697

 36:25 Nevertheless x1571 Elnathan 494 and Delaiah 1806 and Gemariah 1587 had made intercession 6293 z8689 to the king 4428 that he would not x1115 burn 8313 z8800 x853 the roll: 4039 but he would not x3808 hear 8085 z8804 x413 them.

 36:26 But the king 4428 commanded 6680 z8762 x853 Jerahmeel 3396 the son 1121 of Hammelech, 4429 and Seraiah 8304 the son 1121 of Azriel, 5837 and Shelemiah 8018 the son 1121 of Abdeel, 5655 to take 3947 z8800 x853 Baruch 1263 the scribe 5608 z8802 and Jeremiah 3414 the prophet: 5030 but the LORD 3068 hid 5641 z8686 them.

 36:27 ¶ Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 to x413 Jeremiah, 3414 after y310 that x310 the king 4428 had burned 8313 z8800 x853 the roll, 4039 and the words 1697 which x834 Baruch 1263 wrote 3789 z8804 at the mouth 6310 x4480 of Jeremiah, 3414 saying, 559 z8800

 36:28 Take 3947 z8798 thee again 7725 z8798 another 312 roll, 4039 and write 3789 z8798 in x5921 it x853 all x3605 the former 7223 words 1697 that x834 were x1961 in x5921 the first 7223 roll, 4039 which x834 Jehoiakim 3079 the king 4428 of Judah 3063 hath burned. 8313 z8804

 36:29 And thou shalt say 559 z8799 to x5921 Jehoiakim 3079 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD; 3068 Thou x859 hast burned 8313 z8804 x853 this x2063 roll, 4039 saying, 559 z8800 Why x4069 hast thou written 3789 z8804 therein, x5921 saying, 559 z8800 The king 4428 of Babylon 894 shall certainly y935 z8800 come 935 z8799 and destroy 7843 z8689 x853 this x2063 land, 776 and shall cause to cease 7673 z8689 from x4480 thence man 120 and beast? 929

 36:30 Therefore x3651 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of x5921 Jehoiakim 3079 king 4428 of Judah; 3063 He shall have x1961 none x3808 to sit 3427 z8802 upon x5921 the throne 3678 of David: 1732 and his dead body 5038 shall be x1961 cast out 7993 z8716 in the day 3117 to the heat, 2721 and in the night 3915 to the frost. 7140

 36:31 And I will punish 6485 z8804 x5921 him and his seed 2233 and his servants 5650 for x853 their iniquity; 5771 and I will bring 935 z8689 upon x5921 them, and upon x5921 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Jerusalem, 3389 and upon x413 the men 376 of Judah, 3063 x853 all x3605 the evil 7451 that x834 I have pronounced 1696 z8765 against x413 them; but they hearkened 8085 z8804 not. x3808

 36:32 ¶ Then took 3947 z8804 Jeremiah 3414 another 312 roll, 4039 and gave 5414 z8799 it to x413 Baruch 1263 the scribe, 5608 z8802 the son 1121 of Neriah; 5374 who wrote 3789 z8799 therein x5921 from the mouth 6310 x4480 of Jeremiah 3414 x853 all x3605 the words 1697 of the book 5612 which x834 Jehoiakim 3079 king 4428 of Judah 3063 had burned 8313 z8804 in the fire: 784 and there were added 3254 z8738 besides x5750 unto x5921 them many 7227 like 1992 words. 1697
