Jeremiah 36:1-31

36:1

And it came to pass in the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

[that] this word
<01697>

came unto Jeremiah
<03414>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

36:2

Take
<03947> (8798)

thee a roll
<04039>

of a book
<05612>_,

and write
<03789> (8804)

therein all the words
<01697>

that I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

unto thee against Israel
<03478>_,

and against Judah
<03063>_,

and against all the nations
<01471>_,

from the day
<03117>

I spake
<01696> (8765)

unto thee, from the days
<03117>

of Josiah
<02977>_,

even unto this day
<03117>_.

36:3

It may be that the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

will hear
<08085> (8799)

all the evil
<07451>

which I purpose
<02803> (8802)

to do
<06213> (8800)

unto them; that they may return
<07725> (8799)

every man
<0376>

from his evil
<07451>

way
<01870>_;

that I may forgive
<05545> (8804)

their iniquity
<05771>

and their sin
<02403>_.

36:4

Then Jeremiah
<03414>

called
<07121> (8799)

Baruch
<01263>

the son
<01121>

of Neriah
<05374>_:

and Baruch
<01263>

wrote
<03789> (8799)

from the mouth
<06310>

of Jeremiah
<03414>

all the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he had spoken
<01696> (8765)

unto him, upon a roll
<04039>

of a book
<05612>_.

36:5

And Jeremiah
<03414>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

Baruch
<01263>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I [am] shut up
<06113> (8803)_;

I cannot
<03201> (8799)

go
<0935> (8800)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

36:6

Therefore go
<0935> (8804)

thou, and read
<07121> (8804)

in the roll
<04039>_,

which thou hast written
<03789> (8804)

from my mouth
<06310>_,

the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

in the ears
<0241>

of the people
<05971>

in the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>

upon the fasting
<06685>

day
<03117>_:

and also thou shalt read
<07121> (8799)

them in the ears
<0241>

of all Judah
<03063>

that come out
<0935> (8802)

of their cities
<05892>_.

36:7

It may be they will present
<05307> (8799)

their supplication
<08467>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and will return
<07725> (8799)

every one
<0376>

from his evil
<07451>

way
<01870>_:

for great
<01419>

[is] the anger
<0639>

and the fury
<02534>

that the LORD
<03068>

hath pronounced
<01696> (8765)

against this people
<05971>_.

{they...: Heb. their supplication shall fail}

36:8

And Baruch
<01263>

the son
<01121>

of Neriah
<05374>

did
<06213> (8799)

according to all that Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

him, reading
<07121> (8800)

in the book
<05612>

the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

in the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_.

36:9

And it came to pass in the fifth
<02549>

year
<08141>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

in the ninth
<08671>

month
<02320>_,

[that] they proclaimed
<07121> (8804)

a fast
<06685>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

to all the people
<05971>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and to all the people
<05971>

that came
<0935> (8802)

from the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

unto Jerusalem
<03389>_.

36:10

Then read
<07121> (8799)

Baruch
<01263>

in the book
<05612>

the words
<01697>

of Jeremiah
<03414>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

in the chamber
<03957>

of Gemariah
<01587>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

in the higher
<05945>

court
<02691>_,

at the entry
<06607>

of the new
<02319>

gate
<08179>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_,

in the ears
<0241>

of all the people
<05971>_.

{entry: or, door}

36:11

When Michaiah
<04321>

the son
<01121>

of Gemariah
<01587>_,

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>_,

had heard
<08085> (8799)

out of the book
<05612>

all the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

36:12

Then he went down
<03381> (8799)

into the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

into the scribe's
<05608> (8802)

chamber
<03957>_:

and, lo, all the princes
<08269>

sat
<03427> (8802)

there, [even] Elishama
<0476>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and Delaiah
<01806>

the son
<01121>

of Shemaiah
<08098>_,

and Elnathan
<0494>

the son
<01121>

of Achbor
<05907>_,

and Gemariah
<01587>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>_,

and Zedekiah
<06667>

the son
<01121>

of Hananiah
<02608>_,

and all the princes
<08269>_.

36:13

Then Michaiah
<04321>

declared
<05046> (8686)

unto them all the words
<01697>

that he had heard
<08085> (8804)_,

when Baruch
<01263>

read
<07121> (8800)

the book
<05612>

in the ears
<0241>

of the people
<05971>_.

36:14

Therefore all the princes
<08269>

sent
<07971> (8799)

Jehudi
<03065>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>_,

the son
<01121>

of Shelemiah
<08018>_,

the son
<01121>

of Cushi
<03570>_,

unto Baruch
<01263>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

in thine hand
<03027>

the roll
<04039>

wherein thou hast read
<07121> (8804)

in the ears
<0241>

of the people
<05971>_,

and come
<03212> (8798)_.

So Baruch
<01263>

the son
<01121>

of Neriah
<05374>

took
<03947> (8799)

the roll
<04039>

in his hand
<03027>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

unto them.

36:15

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Sit down
<03427> (8798)

now, and read
<07121> (8798)

it in our ears
<0241>_.

So Baruch
<01263>

read
<07121> (8799)

[it] in their ears
<0241>_.

36:16

Now it came to pass, when they had heard
<08085> (8800)

all the words
<01697>_,

they were afraid
<06342> (8804)

both
<0413>

one
<0376>

and other
<07453>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Baruch
<01263>_,

We will surely
<05046> (8687)

tell
<05046> (8686)

the king
<04428>

of all these words
<01697>_.

36:17

And they asked
<07592> (8804)

Baruch
<01263>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Tell
<05046> (8685)

us now, How didst thou write
<03789> (8804)

all these words
<01697>

at his mouth
<06310>_?

36:18

Then Baruch
<01263>

answered
<0559> (8799)

them, He pronounced
<07121> (8799)

all these words
<01697>

unto me with his mouth
<06310>_,

and I wrote
<03789> (8802)

[them] with ink
<01773>

in the book
<05612>_.

36:19

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the princes
<08269>

unto Baruch
<01263>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

hide
<05641> (8734)

thee, thou and Jeremiah
<03414>_;

and let no man
<0376>

know
<03045> (8799)

where
<0375>

ye be.

36:20

And they went in
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

into the court
<02691>_,

but they laid up
<06485> (8689)

the roll
<04039>

in the chamber
<03957>

of Elishama
<0476>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

all the words
<01697>

in the ears
<0241>

of the king
<04428>_.

36:21

So the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

Jehudi
<03065>

to fetch
<03947> (8800)

the roll
<04039>_:

and he took
<03947> (8799)

it out of Elishama
<0476>

the scribe's
<05608> (8802)

chamber
<03957>_.

And Jehudi
<03065>

read
<07121> (8799)

it in the ears
<0241>

of the king
<04428>_,

and in the ears
<0241>

of all the princes
<08269>

which stood
<05975> (8802)

beside
<05921>

the king
<04428>_.

36:22

Now the king
<04428>

sat
<03427> (8802)

in the winterhouse
<01004> <02779>

in the ninth
<08671>

month
<02320>_:

and [there was a fire] on the hearth
<0254>

burning
<01197> (8794)

before
<06440>

him.

36:23

And it came to pass, [that] when Jehudi
<03065>

had read
<07121> (8800)

three
<07969>

or four
<0702>

leaves
<01817>_,

he cut
<07167> (8799)

it with the penknife
<08593> <05608> (8802)_,

and cast
<07993> (8687)

[it] into the fire
<0784>

that [was] on the hearth
<0254>_,

until all the roll
<04039>

was consumed
<08552> (8800)

in the fire
<0784>

that [was] on the hearth
<0254>_.

36:24

Yet they were not afraid
<06342> (8804)_,

nor rent
<07167> (8804)

their garments
<0899>_,

[neither] the king
<04428>_,

nor any of his servants
<05650>

that heard
<08085> (8802)

all these words
<01697>_.

36:25

Nevertheless Elnathan
<0494>

and Delaiah
<01806>

and Gemariah
<01587>

had made intercession
<06293> (8689)

to the king
<04428>

that he would not burn
<08313> (8800)

the roll
<04039>_:

but he would not hear
<08085> (8804)

them.

36:26

But the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

Jerahmeel
<03396>

the son
<01121>

of Hammelech
<04429>_,

and Seraiah
<08304>

the son
<01121>

of Azriel
<05837>_,

and Shelemiah
<08018>

the son
<01121>

of Abdeel
<05655>_,

to take
<03947> (8800)

Baruch
<01263>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)

and Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>_:

but the LORD
<03068>

hid
<05641> (8686)

them. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}

36:27

Then the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Jeremiah
<03414>_,

after
<0310>

that the king
<04428>

had burned
<08313> (8800)

the roll
<04039>_,

and the words
<01697>

which Baruch
<01263>

wrote
<03789> (8804)

at the mouth
<06310>

of Jeremiah
<03414>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

36:28

Take
<03947> (8798)

thee again
<07725> (8798)

another
<0312>

roll
<04039>_,

and write
<03789> (8798)

in it all the former
<07223>

words
<01697>

that were in the first
<07223>

roll
<04039>_,

which Jehoiakim
<03079>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

hath burned
<08313> (8804)_.

36:29

And thou shalt say
<0559> (8799)

to Jehoiakim
<03079>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Thou hast burned
<08313> (8804)

this roll
<04039>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Why hast thou written
<03789> (8804)

therein, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

shall certainly
<0935> (8800)

come
<0935> (8799)

and destroy
<07843> (8689)

this land
<0776>_,

and shall cause to cease
<07673> (8689)

from thence man
<0120>

and beast
<0929>_?

36:30

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_;

He shall have none to sit
<03427> (8802)

upon the throne
<03678>

of David
<01732>_:

and his dead body
<05038>

shall be cast out
<07993> (8716)

in the day
<03117>

to the heat
<02721>_,

and in the night
<03915>

to the frost
<07140>_.

36:31

And I will punish
<06485> (8804)

him and his seed
<02233>

and his servants
<05650>

for their iniquity
<05771>_;

and I will bring
<0935> (8689)

upon them, and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and upon the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>_,

all the evil
<07451>

that I have pronounced
<01696> (8765)

against them; but they hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
