Jeremiah 36:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 The LORD spoke to Jeremiah in the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah.
2 "Get a scroll. Write on it everything I have told you to say about Israel, Judah, and all the other nations since I began to speak to you in the reign of Josiah until now.
3 Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the disaster I intend to bring on them, they will all stop doing the evil things they have been doing. If they do, I will forgive their sins and the wicked things they have done."
4 So Jeremiah summoned Baruch son of Neriah. Then Jeremiah dictated to Baruch everything the LORD had told him to say and Baruch wrote it all down in a scroll.
5 Then Jeremiah told Baruch, "I am no longer allowed to go into the LORD's temple.
6 So you go there the next time all the people of Judah come in from their towns to fast in the LORD's temple. Read out loud where all of them can hear you what I told you the LORD said, which you wrote in the scroll.
7 Perhaps then they will ask the LORD for mercy and will all stop doing the evil things they have been doing. For the LORD has threatened to bring great anger and wrath against these people."
8 So Baruch son of Neriah did exactly what the prophet Jeremiah had told him to do. He read what the LORD had said from the scroll in the temple of the LORD.
9 All the people living in Jerusalem and all the people who came into Jerusalem from the towns of Judah came to observe a fast before the LORD. The fast took place in the ninth month of the fifth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah.
10 At that time Baruch went into the temple of the LORD. He stood in the entrance of the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan who had been the royal secretary. That room was in the upper court near the entrance of the New Gate. There, where all the people could hear him, he read from the scroll what Jeremiah had said.
11 Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and the grandson of Shaphan, heard Baruch read from the scroll everything the LORD had said.
12 He went down to the chamber of the royal secretary in the king's palace and found all the court officials in session there. Elishama the royal secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials were seated there.
13 Micaiah told them everything he had heard Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people.
14 All the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and the grandson of Cushi, to Baruch. They ordered him to tell Baruch, "Come here and bring with you the scroll you read in the hearing of the people." So Baruch son of Neriah went to them, carrying the scroll in his hand.
15 They said to him, "Please sit down and read it to us." So Baruch sat down and read it to them.
16 When they had heard it all, they expressed their alarm to one another. Then they said to Baruch, "We must certainly give the king a report about everything you have read!"
17 Then they asked Baruch, "How did you come to write all these words? Do they actually come from Jeremiah's mouth?"
18 Baruch answered, "Yes, they came from his own mouth. He dictated all these words to me and I wrote them down in ink on this scroll."
19 Then the officials said to Baruch, "You and Jeremiah must go and hide. You must not let anyone know where you are."
20 The officials put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the royal secretary, for safekeeping. Then they went to the court and reported everything to the king.
21 The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. He went and got it from the room of Elishama, the royal secretary. Then he himself read it to the king and all the officials who were standing around him.
22 Since it was the ninth month of the year, the king was sitting in his winter quarters. A fire was burning in the firepot in front of him.
23 As soon as Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll, the king would cut them off with a penknife and throw them on the fire in the firepot. He kept doing so until the whole scroll was burned up in the fire.
24 Neither he nor any of his attendants showed any alarm when they heard all that had been read. Nor did they tear their clothes to show any grief or sorrow.
25 The king did not even listen to Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah, who had urged him not to burn the scroll.
26 He also ordered Jerahmeel, who was one of the royal princes, Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest the scribe Baruch and the prophet Jeremiah. However, the LORD hid them.
27 The LORD spoke to Jeremiah after Jehoiakim had burned the scroll containing what Jeremiah had spoken and Baruch had written down.
28 "Get another scroll and write on it everything that was written on the original scroll that King Jehoiakim of Judah burned.
29 Tell King Jehoiakim of Judah, 'The LORD says, "You burned the scroll. You asked Jeremiah, 'How dare you write in this scroll that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land and wipe out all the people and animals on it?'"
30 So the LORD says concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah, "None of his line will occupy the throne of David. His dead body will be thrown out to be exposed to scorching heat by day and frost by night.
31 I will punish him and his descendants and the officials who serve him for the wicked things they have done. I will bring on them, the citizens of Jerusalem, and the people of Judah all the disaster that I threatened to do to them. I will punish them because I threatened them but they still paid no heed."'"
32 Then Jeremiah got another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah. As Jeremiah dictated, Baruch wrote on this scroll everything that had been on the scroll that King Jehoiakim of Judah burned in the fire. They also added on this scroll several other messages of the same kind.
1 And it came to pass H1961 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 that this H2088 word H1697 came H1961 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 from H4480 H854 the LORD, H3068 saying, H559
2 Take H3947 thee a roll H4039 of a book, H5612 and write H3789 therein H413 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 that H834 I have spoken H1696 unto H413 thee against H5921 Israel, H3478 and against H5921 Judah, H3063 and against H5921 all H3605 the nations, H1471 from the day H4480 H3117 I spoke H1696 unto H413 thee , from the days H4480 H3117 of Josiah, H2977 even unto H5704 this H2088 day. H3117
3 It may be that H194 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 will hear H8085 H853 all H3605 the evil H7451 which H834 I H595 purpose H2803 to do H6213 unto them; that H4616 they may return H7725 every man H376 from his evil H7451 way H4480 H1870 ; that I may forgive H5545 their iniquity H5771 and their sin. H2403
4 Then Jeremiah H3414 called H7121 H853 Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah: H5374 and Baruch H1263 wrote H3789 from the mouth H4480 H6310 of Jeremiah H3414 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of the LORD, H3068 which H834 he had spoken H1696 unto H413 him, upon H5921 a roll H4039 of a book. H5612
5 And Jeremiah H3414 commanded H6680 H853 Baruch, H1263 saying, H559 I H589 am shut up; H6113 I cannot H3201 H3808 go H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD: H3068
6 Therefore go H935 thou, H859 and read H7121 in the roll, H4039 which H834 thou hast written H3789 from my mouth H4480 H6310 , H853 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 H1571 thou shalt read H7121 them in the ears H241 of all H3605 Judah H3063 that come H935 out of their cities H4480 H5892 .
7 It may be H194 they will present H5307 their supplication H8467 before H6440 the LORD, H3068 and will return H7725 every one H376 from his evil H7451 way H4480 H1870 : for H3588 great H1419 is the anger H639 and the fury H2534 that H834 the LORD H3068 hath pronounced H1696 against H413 this H2088 people. H5971
8 And Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374 did H6213 according to all H3605 that H834 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
9 And it came to pass H1961 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 H3605 the people H5971 in Jerusalem, H3389 and to all H3605 the people H5971 that came H935 from the cities H4480 H5892 of Judah H3063 unto Jerusalem. H3389
10 Then read H7121 Baruch H1263 in the book H5612 H853 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 H3605 the people. H5971
11 When Michaiah H4321 the son H1121 of Gemariah, H1587 the son H1121 of Shaphan, H8227 had heard H8085 out of H4480 H5921 the book H5612 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of the LORD, H3068
12 Then he went down H3381 into H5921 the king's H4428 house, H1004 into H5921 the scribe's H5608 chamber: H3957 and, lo, H2009 all H3605 the princes H8269 sat H3427 there, H8033 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 H3605 the princes. H8269
13 Then Michaiah H4321 declared H5046 unto them H853 all H3605 the words H1697 that H834 he had heard, H8085 when Baruch H1263 read H7121 the book H5612 in the ears H241 of the people. H5971
14 Therefore all H3605 the princes H8269 sent H7971 H853 Jehudi H3065 the son H1121 of Nethaniah, H5418 the son H1121 of Shelemiah, H8018 the son H1121 of Cushi, H3570 unto H413 Baruch, H1263 saying, H559 Take H3947 in thine hand H3027 the roll H4039 wherein H834 thou hast read H7121 in the ears H241 of the people, H5971 and come. H1980 So Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374 took H3947 H853 the roll H4039 in his hand, H3027 and came H935 unto H413 them.
15 And they said H559 unto H413 him , Sit down H3427 now, H4994 and read H7121 it in our ears. H241 So Baruch H1263 read H7121 it in their ears. H241
16 Now it came to pass, H1961 when they had heard H8085 H853 all H3605 the words, H1697 they were afraid H6342 both H413 one H376 and other, H7453 and said H559 unto H413 Baruch, H1263 We will surely tell H5046 H5046 the king H4428 of H853 all H3605 these H428 words. H1697
17 And they asked H7592 Baruch, H1263 saying, H559 Tell H5046 us now, H4994 How H349 didst thou write H3789 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 at his mouth H4480 H6310 ?
18 Then Baruch H1263 answered H559 them , He pronounced H7121 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 unto H413 me with his mouth H4480 H6310 , and I H589 wrote H3789 them with ink H1773 in H5921 the book. H5612
19 Then said H559 the princes H8269 unto H413 Baruch, H1263 Go, H1980 hide H5641 thee, thou H859 and Jeremiah; H3414 and let no H408 man H376 know H3045 where H375 ye be.
20 And they went in H935 to H413 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 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 in the ears H241 of the king. H4428
21 So the king H4428 sent H7971 H853 Jehudi H3065 to fetch H3947 H853 the roll: H4039 and he took H3947 it out of Elishama H476 the scribe's H5608 chamber H4480 H3957 . And Jehudi H3065 read H7121 it in the ears H241 of the king, H4428 and in the ears H241 of all H3605 the princes H8269 which stood H5975 beside H4480 H5921 the king. H4428
22 Now 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.
23 And it came to pass, H1961 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 H413 the fire H784 that H834 was on H413 the hearth, H254 until H5704 all H3605 the roll H4039 was consumed H8552 in H5921 the fire H784 that H834 was on H5921 the hearth. H254
24 Yet they were not H3808 afraid, H6342 nor H3808 rent H7167 H853 their garments, H899 neither the king, H4428 nor any H3605 of his servants H5650 that heard H8085 H853 all H3605 these H428 words. H1697
25 Nevertheless H1571 Elnathan H494 and Delaiah H1806 and Gemariah H1587 had made intercession H6293 to the king H4428 that he would not H1115 burn H8313 H853 the roll: H4039 but he would not H3808 hear H8085 H413 them.
26 But the king H4428 commanded H6680 H853 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 H853 Baruch H1263 the scribe H5608 and Jeremiah H3414 the prophet: H5030 but the LORD H3068 hid H5641 them.
27 Then the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to H413 Jeremiah, H3414 after that H310 the king H4428 had burned H8313 H853 the roll, H4039 and the words H1697 which H834 Baruch H1263 wrote H3789 at the mouth H4480 H6310 of Jeremiah, H3414 saying, H559
28 Take H3947 thee again H7725 another H312 roll, H4039 and write H3789 in H5921 it H853 all H3605 the former H7223 words H1697 that H834 were H1961 in H5921 the first H7223 roll, H4039 which H834 Jehoiakim H3079 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 hath burned. H8313
29 And thou shalt say H559 to H5921 Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 Thou H859 hast burned H8313 H853 this H2063 roll, H4039 saying, H559 Why H4069 hast thou written H3789 therein, H5921 saying, H559 The king H4428 of Babylon H894 shall certainly come H935 H935 and destroy H7843 H853 this H2063 land, H776 and shall cause to cease H7673 from H4480 thence man H120 and beast H929 ?
30 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of H5921 Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah; H3063 He shall have H1961 none H3808 to sit H3427 upon H5921 the throne H3678 of David: H1732 and his dead body H5038 shall be H1961 cast out H7993 in the day H3117 to the heat, H2721 and in the night H3915 to the frost. H7140
31 And I will punish H6485 H5921 him and his seed H2233 and his servants H5650 for H853 their iniquity; H5771 and I will bring H935 upon H5921 them , and upon H5921 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 and upon H413 the men H376 of Judah, H3063 H853 all H3605 the evil H7451 that H834 I have pronounced H1696 against H413 them ; but they hearkened H8085 not. H3808
32 Then took H3947 Jeremiah H3414 another H312 roll, H4039 and gave H5414 it to H413 Baruch H1263 the scribe, H5608 the son H1121 of Neriah; H5374 who wrote H3789 therein H5921 from the mouth H4480 H6310 of Jeremiah H3414 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of the book H5612 which H834 Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah H3063 had burned H8313 in the fire: H784 and there were added H3254 besides H5750 unto H5921 them many H7227 like H1992 words.
