36:1 And it came to pass in the fourth 7243 year 8141 of Jehoiakim 3079 the son 1121 of Josiah 2977 king 4428 of Judah 3063, [that] this word 1697 came unto Jeremiah 3414 from the LORD 3068, saying 559 8800,

36:2 Take 3947 8798 thee a roll 4039 of a book 5612, and write 3789 8804 therein all the words 1697 that I have spoken 1696 8765 unto thee against Israel 3478, and against Judah 3063, and against all the nations 1471, from the day 3117 I spake 1696 8765 unto thee, from the days 3117 of Josiah 2977, even unto this day 3117.

36:3 It may be that the house 1004 of Judah 3063 will hear 8085 8799 all the evil 7451 which I purpose 2803 8802 to do 6213 8800 unto them; that they may return 7725 8799 every man 376 from his evil 7451 way 1870; that I may forgive 5545 8804 their iniquity 5771 and their sin 2403.

36:4 Then Jeremiah 3414 called 7121 8799 Baruch 1263 the son 1121 of Neriah 5374: and Baruch 1263 wrote 3789 8799 from the mouth 6310 of Jeremiah 3414 all the words 1697 of the LORD 3068, which he had spoken 1696 8765 unto him, upon a roll 4039 of a book 5612.

36:5 And Jeremiah 3414 commanded 6680 8762 Baruch 1263, saying 559 8800, I [am] shut up 6113 8803; I cannot 3201 8799 go 935 8800 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068:

36:6 Therefore go 935 8804 thou, and read 7121 8804 in the roll 4039, which thou hast written 3789 8804 from my mouth 6310, 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 thou shalt read 7121 8799 them in the ears 241 of all Judah 3063 that come out 935 8802 of their cities 5892.

36:7 It may be they will present 5307 8799 their supplication 8467 before 6440 the LORD 3068, and will return 7725 8799 every one 376 from his evil 7451 way 1870: for great 1419 [is] the anger 639 and the fury 2534 that the LORD 3068 hath pronounced 1696 8765 against this people 5971.(they…: Heb. their supplication shall fail)

36:8 And Baruch 1263 the son 1121 of Neriah 5374 did 6213 8799 according to all that Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 commanded 6680 8765 him, reading 7121 8800 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 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 8804 a fast 6685 before 6440 the LORD 3068 to all the people 5971 in Jerusalem 3389, and to all the people 5971 that came 935 8802 from the cities 5892 of Judah 3063 unto Jerusalem 3389.

36:10 Then read 7121 8799 Baruch 1263 in the book 5612 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 8802, 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 the people 5971.(entry: or, door)

36:11 When Michaiah 4321 the son 1121 of Gemariah 1587, the son 1121 of Shaphan 8227, had heard 8085 8799 out of the book 5612 all the words 1697 of the LORD 3068,

36:12 Then he went down 3381 8799 into the king's 4428 house 1004, into the scribe's 5608 8802 chamber 3957: and, lo, all the princes 8269 sat 3427 8802 there, [even] Elishama 476 the scribe 5608 8802, 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 the princes 8269.

36:13 Then Michaiah 4321 declared 5046 8686 unto them all the words 1697 that he had heard 8085 8804, when Baruch 1263 read 7121 8800 the book 5612 in the ears 241 of the people 5971.

36:14 Therefore all the princes 8269 sent 7971 8799 Jehudi 3065 the son 1121 of Nethaniah 5418, the son 1121 of Shelemiah 8018, the son 1121 of Cushi 3570, unto Baruch 1263, saying 559 8800, Take 3947 8798 in thine hand 3027 the roll 4039 wherein thou hast read 7121 8804 in the ears 241 of the people 5971, and come 3212 8798. So Baruch 1263 the son 1121 of Neriah 5374 took 3947 8799 the roll 4039 in his hand 3027, and came 935 8799 unto them.

36:15 And they said 559 8799 unto him, Sit down 3427 8798 now, and read 7121 8798 it in our ears 241. So Baruch 1263 read 7121 8799 [it] in their ears 241.

36:16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard 8085 8800 all the words 1697, they were afraid 6342 8804 both 413 one 376 and other 7453, and said 559 8799 unto Baruch 1263, We will surely 5046 8687 tell 5046 8686 the king 4428 of all these words 1697.

36:17 And they asked 7592 8804 Baruch 1263, saying 559 8800, Tell 5046 8685 us now, How didst thou write 3789 8804 all these words 1697 at his mouth 6310?

36:18 Then Baruch 1263 answered 559 8799 them, He pronounced 7121 8799 all these words 1697 unto me with his mouth 6310, and I wrote 3789 8802 [them] with ink 1773 in the book 5612.

36:19 Then said 559 8799 the princes 8269 unto Baruch 1263, Go 3212 8798, hide 5641 8734 thee, thou and Jeremiah 3414; and let no man 376 know 3045 8799 where 375 ye be.

36:20 And they went in 935 8799 to the king 4428 into the court 2691, but they laid up 6485 8689 the roll 4039 in the chamber 3957 of Elishama 476 the scribe 5608 8802, and told 5046 8686 all the words 1697 in the ears 241 of the king 4428.

36:21 So the king 4428 sent 7971 8799 Jehudi 3065 to fetch 3947 8800 the roll 4039: and he took 3947 8799 it out of Elishama 476 the scribe's 5608 8802 chamber 3957. And Jehudi 3065 read 7121 8799 it in the ears 241 of the king 4428, and in the ears 241 of all the princes 8269 which stood 5975 8802 beside 5921 the king 4428.

36:22 Now the king 4428 sat 3427 8802 in the winterhouse 1004 2779 in the ninth 8671 month 2320: and [there was a fire] on the hearth 254 burning 1197 8794 before 6440 him.

36:23 And it came to pass, [that] when Jehudi 3065 had read 7121 8800 three 7969 or four 702 leaves 1817, he cut 7167 8799 it with the penknife 8593 5608 8802, and cast 7993 8687 [it] into the fire 784 that [was] on the hearth 254, until all the roll 4039 was consumed 8552 8800 in the fire 784 that [was] on the hearth 254.

36:24 Yet they were not afraid 6342 8804, nor rent 7167 8804 their garments 899, [neither] the king 4428, nor any of his servants 5650 that heard 8085 8802 all these words 1697.

36:25 Nevertheless Elnathan 494 and Delaiah 1806 and Gemariah 1587 had made intercession 6293 8689 to the king 4428 that he would not burn 8313 8800 the roll 4039: but he would not hear 8085 8804 them.

36:26 But the king 4428 commanded 6680 8762 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 8800 Baruch 1263 the scribe 5608 8802 and Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030: but the LORD 3068 hid 5641 8686 them.(of Hammelech: or, of the king)

36:27 Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came to Jeremiah 3414, after 310 that the king 4428 had burned 8313 8800 the roll 4039, and the words 1697 which Baruch 1263 wrote 3789 8804 at the mouth 6310 of Jeremiah 3414, saying 559 8800,

36:28 Take 3947 8798 thee again 7725 8798 another 312 roll 4039, and write 3789 8798 in it all the former 7223 words 1697 that were in the first 7223 roll 4039, which Jehoiakim 3079 the king 4428 of Judah 3063 hath burned 8313 8804.

36:29 And thou shalt say 559 8799 to Jehoiakim 3079 king 4428 of Judah 3063, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Thou hast burned 8313 8804 this roll 4039, saying 559 8800, Why hast thou written 3789 8804 therein, saying 559 8800, The king 4428 of Babylon 894 shall certainly 935 8800 come 935 8799 and destroy 7843 8689 this land 776, and shall cause to cease 7673 8689 from thence man 120 and beast 929?

36:30 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of Jehoiakim 3079 king 4428 of Judah 3063; He shall have none to sit 3427 8802 upon the throne 3678 of David 1732: and his dead body 5038 shall be cast out 7993 8716 in the day 3117 to the heat 2721, and in the night 3915 to the frost 7140.

36:31 And I will punish 6485 8804 him and his seed 2233 and his servants 5650 for their iniquity 5771; and I will bring 935 8689 upon them, and upon the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389, and upon the men 376 of Judah 3063, all the evil 7451 that I have pronounced 1696 8765 against them; but they hearkened 8085 8804 not.(punish: Heb. visit upon)

36:32 Then took 3947 8804 Jeremiah 3414 another 312 roll 4039, and gave 5414 8799 it to Baruch 1263 the scribe 5608 8802, the son 1121 of Neriah 5374; who wrote 3789 8799 therein from the mouth 6310 of Jeremiah 3414 all the words 1697 of the book 5612 which Jehoiakim 3079 king 4428 of Judah 3063 had burned 8313 8804 in the fire 784: and there were added 3254 8738 besides unto them many 7227 like 1992 words 1697.(like: Heb. as they)
