| 1 | It happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, | Jer 25:1 Jer 35:1 2Ki 24:1 2Ki 24:2 |
| 2 | Take a scroll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day. | Jer 36:6 Jer 36:23 Jer 36:29 Jer 30:2 Jer 45:1 Jer 51:60 Ex 17:14 Dt 31:24 Ezr 6:2 Jb 31:35 Ps 40:7 Isa 8:1 Isa 30:8 Isa 30:9 Ezk 2:9 Ezk 3:1-3 Hab 2:2 Hab 2:3 Zc 5:1-4 Rev 5:1-9 |
| 3 | It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin. | Jer 36:7 Jer 18:8 Jer 26:3 Dt 5:29 Ezk 12:3 Zep 2:3 Lk 20:13 2Ti 2:25 2Ti 2:26 2Pe 3:9 |
| 4 | Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Yahweh, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book. | Jer 36:26 Jer 32:12 Jer 43:3 |
| 5 | Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I can`t go into the house of Yahweh: | Jer 20:2 Jer 32:2 Jer 33:1 Jer 37:15 Jer 38:6 Jer 38:28 Jer 40:4 2Co 11:23 Eph 3:1 Eph 6:20 2Ti 2:9 Heb 11:36 |
| 6 | therefore go you, and read in the scroll, which you have written from my mouth, the words of Yahweh in the ears of the people in Yahweh`s house on the fast-day; and also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities. | Jer 36:8 Ezk 2:3-7 |
| 7 | It may be they will present their supplication before Yahweh, and will return everyone from his evil way; for great is the anger and the wrath that Yahweh has pronounced against this people. | Jer 36:3 1Ki 8:33-36 2Ch 33:12 2Ch 33:13 Dn 9:13 Hos 5:15 Hos 6:1 Hos 14:1-3 |
| 8 | Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yahweh in Yahweh`s house. | Jer 36:4 Jer 1:17 Mt 16:24 1Co 16:10 Php 2:19-22 |
| 9 | Now it happened in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Yahweh. | Lv 23:27 2Ch 20:3 Ne 9:1 Es 4:16 Isa 58:1-3 Jl 1:13 Jl 2:12-17 Jon 3:5 Zc 7:5 Zc 7:6 Zc 8:19 |
| 10 | Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Yahweh, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan, the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Yahweh`s house, in the ears of all the people. | Jer 36:6 Jer 36:8 |
| 11 | When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of Yahweh, | Jer 36:10 2Ki 22:12-14 2Ki 25:22 2Ch 34:20 |
| 12 | he went down into the king`s house, into the scribe`s chamber: and, behold, all the princes were sitting there, [to wit], 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. | Jer 36:20 Jer 36:21 Jer 41:1 |
| 13 | Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people. | 2Ki 22:10 2Ki 22:19 2Ch 34:16-18 2Ch 34:24-18 Jon 3:6 |
| 14 | Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them. | Jer 40:8 Jer 41:1 Jer 41:2 Jer 41:16 Jer 41:18 2Ki 25:23 |
| 15 | They said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears. |
| 16 | Now it happened, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words. | Jer 36:24 Ac 24:25 Ac 24:26 |
| 17 | They asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How did you write all these words at his mouth? | Jn 9:10 Jn 9:11 Jn 9:15 Jn 9:26 Jn 9:27 |
| 18 | Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book. | Jer 36:2 Jer 36:4 Jer 43:2 Jer 43:3 Pr 26:4 Pr 26:5 |
| 19 | Then said the princes to Baruch, Go, hide you, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are. | Jer 36:26 Jer 26:20-24 1Ki 17:3 1Ki 18:4 1Ki 18:10 2Ch 25:15 Pr 28:12 Am 7:12 Lk 13:31 Ac 5:40 Ac 23:16-22 |
| 20 | They went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king. | Jer 36:12 Jer 36:21 |
| 21 | So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood beside the king. | Jer 36:15 Jer 23:28 Jer 26:2 2Ki 22:10 2Ch 34:18 Ezk 2:4 Ezk 2:5 |
| 22 | Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month: and [there was a fire in] the brazier burning before him. | Jer 22:14-16 Jer 3:20 Am 3:15 |
| 23 | It happened, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that [the king] cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. | Jer 36:29-31 Dt 29:19-21 1Ki 22:8 1Ki 22:27 Ps 50:17 Pr 1:30 Pr 5:12 Pr 13:13 Pr 19:21 Pr 21:30 Pr 29:1 Isa 5:18 Isa 5:19 Isa 28:14 Isa 28:15 Isa 28:17-22 Rev 22:19 |
| 24 | They were not afraid, nor tore their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words. | Jer 36:16 Jb 15:4 Ps 36:1 Ps 64:5 Isa 26:11 Ro 3:18 |
| 25 | Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not hear them. | Jer 36:12 Jer 26:22 |
| 26 | The king commanded Jerahmeel the king`s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Yahweh hid them. | Jer 2:30 Jer 26:21-23 1Ki 19:1-3 1Ki 19:10-3 1Ki 19:14-3 Mt 23:34-37 Mt 26:47-50 Jn 7:32 Jn 8:20 Jn 11:57 |
| 27 | Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, |
| 28 | Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned. | Jer 28:13 Jer 28:14 Jer 44:28 Jb 23:13 Zc 1:5 Zc 1:6 Mt 24:35 2Ti 2:13 |
| 29 | Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, Thus says Yahweh: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and animal? | Dt 29:19 Jb 15:24 Jb 40:8 Isa 45:9 Ac 5:39 1Co 10:22 |
| 30 | Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit on 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. | Jer 22:30 2Ki 24:12-15 |
| 31 | I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn`t listen. | Jer 23:34 |
| 32 | Then took Jeremiah another scroll, 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 to them many like words. | Jer 36:4 Jer 36:18 Ex 4:15 Ex 4:16 Ro 16:22 |
