Jeremiah 36 (kjv)

And it came to pass in the fourth^H7243 year^H8141 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, that this word^H1697 came unto Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, saying^H559,²Take^H3947 thee a roll^H4039 of a book^H5612, and write^H3789 therein all the words^H1697 that I have spoken^H1696 unto thee against Israel^H3478, and against Judah^H3063, and against all the nations^H1471, from the day^H3117 I spake^H1696 unto thee, from the days^H3117 of Josiah^H2977, even unto this day^H3117.³It may be that the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 will hear^H8085 all the evil^H7451 which I purpose^H2803 to do^H6213 unto them; that they may return^H7725 every man^H376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870; that I may forgive^H5545 their iniquity^H5771 and their sin^H2403.⁴Then Jeremiah^H3414 called^H7121 Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374: and Baruch^H1263 wrote^H3789 from the mouth^H6310 of Jeremiah^H3414 all the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he had spoken^H1696 unto him, upon a roll^H4039 of a book^H5612.

⁵And Jeremiah^H3414 commanded^H6680 Baruch^H1263, saying^H559, I am shut up^H6113; I cannot^H3201 go^H935 into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068:⁶Therefore go^H935 thou, and read^H7121 in the roll^H4039, which thou hast written^H3789 from my mouth^H6310, the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 in the ears^H241 of the people^H5971 in the LORD'S^H3068 house^H1004 upon the fasting^H6685 day^H3117: and also thou shalt read^H7121 them in the ears^H241 of all Judah^H3063 that come out^H935 of their cities^H5892.⁷It may be they will present^H5307 their supplication^H8467 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068, and will return^H7725 every one^H376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870: for great^H1419 is the anger^H639 and the fury^H2534 that the LORD^H3068 hath pronounced^H1696 against this people^H5971.⁸And Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374 did^H6213 according to all that Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 commanded^H6680 him, reading^H7121 in the book^H5612 the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 in the LORD'S^H3068 house^H1004.⁹And it came to pass in the fifth^H2549 year^H8141 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, in the ninth^H8671 month^H2320, that they proclaimed^H7121 a fast^H6685 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068 to all the people^H5971 in Jerusalem^H3389, and to all the people^H5971 that came^H935 from the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 unto Jerusalem^H3389.¹⁰Then read^H7121 Baruch^H1263 in the book^H5612 the words^H1697 of Jeremiah^H3414 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, in the chamber^H3957 of Gemariah^H1587 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227 the scribe^H5608, in the higher^H5945 court^H2691, at the entry^H6607 of the new^H2319 gate^H8179 of the LORD'S^H3068 house^H1004, in the ears^H241 of all the people^H5971.

¹¹When Michaiah^H4321 the son^H1121 of Gemariah^H1587, the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227, had heard^H8085 out of the book^H5612 all the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068,¹²Then he went down^H3381 into the king's^H4428 house^H1004, into the scribe's^H5608 chamber^H3957: and, lo, all the princes^H8269 sat^H3427 there, even Elishama^H476 the scribe^H5608, and Delaiah^H1806 the son^H1121 of Shemaiah^H8098, and Elnathan^H494 the son^H1121 of Achbor^H5907, and Gemariah^H1587 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227, and Zedekiah^H6667 the son^H1121 of Hananiah^H2608, and all the princes^H8269.¹³Then Michaiah^H4321 declared^H5046 unto them all the words^H1697 that he had heard^H8085, when Baruch^H1263 read^H7121 the book^H5612 in the ears^H241 of the people^H5971.

¹⁴Therefore all the princes^H8269 sent^H7971 Jehudi^H3065 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418, the son^H1121 of Shelemiah^H8018, the son^H1121 of Cushi^H3570, unto Baruch^H1263, saying^H559, Take^H3947 in thine hand^H3027 the roll^H4039 wherein thou hast read^H7121 in the ears^H241 of the people^H5971, and come^H3212. So Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374 took^H3947 the roll^H4039 in his hand^H3027, and came^H935 unto them.¹⁵And they said^H559 unto him, Sit down^H3427 now, and read^H7121 it in our ears^H241. So Baruch^H1263 read^H7121 it in their ears^H241.¹⁶Now it came to pass, when they had heard^H8085 all the words^H1697, they were afraid^H6342 both^H413 one^H376 and other^H7453, and said^H559 unto Baruch^H1263, We will surely^H5046 tell^H5046 the king^H4428 of all these words^H1697.¹⁷And they asked^H7592 Baruch^H1263, saying^H559, Tell^H5046 us now, How didst thou write^H3789 all these words^H1697 at his mouth^H6310?¹⁸Then Baruch^H1263 answered^H559 them, He pronounced^H7121 all these words^H1697 unto me with his mouth^H6310, and I wrote^H3789 them with ink^H1773 in the book^H5612.

¹⁹Then said^H559 the princes^H8269 unto Baruch^H1263, Go^H3212, hide^H5641 thee, thou and Jeremiah^H3414; and let no man^H376 know^H3045 where^H375 ye be.

²⁰And they went in^H935 to the king^H4428 into the court^H2691, but they laid up^H6485 the roll^H4039 in the chamber^H3957 of Elishama^H476 the scribe^H5608, and told^H5046 all the words^H1697 in the ears^H241 of the king^H4428.²¹So the king^H4428 sent^H7971 Jehudi^H3065 to fetch^H3947 the roll^H4039: and he took^H3947 it out of Elishama^H476 the scribe's^H5608 chamber^H3957. And Jehudi^H3065 read^H7121 it in the ears^H241 of the king^H4428, and in the ears^H241 of all the princes^H8269 which stood^H5975 beside^H5921 the king^H4428.²²Now the king^H4428 sat^H3427 in the winterhouse^{H1004 H2779} in the ninth^H8671 month^H2320: and there was a fire on the hearth^H254 burning^H1197 before^H6440 him.²³And it came to pass, that when Jehudi^H3065 had read^H7121 three^H7969 or four^H702 leaves^H1817, he cut^H7167 it with the penknife^{H8593 H5608}, and cast^H7993 it into the fire^H784 that was on the hearth^H254, until all the roll^H4039 was consumed^H8552 in the fire^H784 that was on the hearth^H254.²⁴Yet they were not afraid^H6342, nor rent^H7167 their garments^H899, neither the king^H4428, nor any of his servants^H5650 that heard^H8085 all these words^H1697.²⁵Nevertheless Elnathan^H494 and Delaiah^H1806 and Gemariah^H1587 had made intercession^H6293 to the king^H4428 that he would not burn^H8313 the roll^H4039: but he would not hear^H8085 them.²⁶But the king^H4428 commanded^H6680 Jerahmeel^H3396 the son^H1121 of Hammelech^H4429, and Seraiah^H8304 the son^H1121 of Azriel^H5837, and Shelemiah^H8018 the son^H1121 of Abdeel^H5655, to take^H3947 Baruch^H1263 the scribe^H5608 and Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030: but the LORD^H3068 hid^H5641 them.

²⁷Then the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came to Jeremiah^H3414, after^H310 that the king^H4428 had burned^H8313 the roll^H4039, and the words^H1697 which Baruch^H1263 wrote^H3789 at the mouth^H6310 of Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H559,²⁸Take^H3947 thee again^H7725 another^H312 roll^H4039, and write^H3789 in it all the former^H7223 words^H1697 that were in the first^H7223 roll^H4039, which Jehoiakim^H3079 the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 hath burned^H8313.²⁹And thou shalt say^H559 to Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; Thou hast burned^H8313 this roll^H4039, saying^H559, Why hast thou written^H3789 therein, saying^H559, The king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 shall certainly^H935 come^H935 and destroy^H7843 this land^H776, and shall cause to cease^H7673 from thence man^H120 and beast^H929?³⁰Therefore thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063; He shall have none to sit^H3427 upon the throne^H3678 of David^H1732: and his dead body^H5038 shall be cast out^H7993 in the day^H3117 to the heat^H2721, and in the night^H3915 to the frost^H7140.³¹And I will punish^H6485 him and his seed^H2233 and his servants^H5650 for their iniquity^H5771; and I will bring^H935 upon them, and upon the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, and upon the men^H376 of Judah^H3063, all the evil^H7451 that I have pronounced^H1696 against them; but they hearkened^H8085 not.

³²Then took^H3947 Jeremiah^H3414 another^H312 roll^H4039, and gave^H5414 it to Baruch^H1263 the scribe^H5608, the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374; who wrote^H3789 therein from the mouth^H6310 of Jeremiah^H3414 all the words^H1697 of the book^H5612 which Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 had burned^H8313 in the fire^H784: and there were added^H3254 besides unto them many^H7227 like^H1992 words^H1697.
