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. [they...: Heb. their supplication shall fail]
			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. [entry: or, door]
			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. [of Hammelech: or, of the king]
			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. [punish: Heb. visit upon]
			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. [like: Heb. as they]
