Young's Literal Translation
In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came
to
Jeremiah from the
LORD
:
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word hath
been
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah,
saying
:
“
Take a scroll
and write
on it all the words I have spoken to
you
concerning Israel, Judah, and all the nations, from the day I first
spoke
to
you
during
the reign
of Josiah until
today.
`
Take to
thee
a roll
of
a
book,
and thou
hast
written
on it all the words that
I have spoken unto
thee
concerning Israel, and
concerning
Judah, and concerning
all the nations, from the day I spake
unto
thee,
from
the days
of Josiah ,
even
unto
this
day;
Perhaps
when
the people
of Judah
hear about
all the calamity
I plan
to bring
upon
them, each
of
them
will
turn from his
wicked
way .
Then
I will
forgive
their iniquity and their sin. ”
if
so
be
the house
of Israel
do
hear all the evil
that
I am
thinking
of
doing
to them, so
that
they
turn back
each
from is
evil
way ,
and
I have
been
propitious
to
their iniquity ,
and to
their sin. '
So
Jeremiah called
Baruch son of Neriah, and at
the dictation
of Jeremiah ,
Baruch
wrote
on
a
scroll
all the words that the
LORD
had
spoken to
Jeremiah
.
And
Jeremiah calleth
Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch
writeth
from
the mouth
of Jeremiah all the words of
Jehovah,
that He
hath
spoken unto
him,
on
a
roll
of
a
book
.
Then
Jeremiah commanded
Baruch, “
I am restricted;
I cannot
enter the house of the
LORD
;
And
Jeremiah commandeth
Baruch, saying,
`
I am restrained,
I am
not
able
to
enter the house of Jehovah
;
so
you
are
to
go
to
the house
of
the LORD
on
a
day
of fasting
, and
in the hearing
of the people you
are
to
read
the words
of the LORD
from
the scroll
you
have
written
at
my
dictation.
Read
them
in the hearing
of all the
people
of
Judah who are coming from their cities .
but
thou
hast
entered
--
and
thou
hast
read
in
the roll
that
thou
hast
written
from
my
mouth,
the words
of Jehovah
, in the ears
of the people ,
in
the house
of Jehovah,
in
the day
of
the fast,
and
also
in the ears
of all Judah who are coming in
from their cities thou
dost
read
them;
Perhaps
they
will
bring
their petition
before the
LORD
, and each
one
will
turn from his wicked
way ;
for great are
the anger and fury that the
LORD
has
pronounced
against
this people. ”
if
so
be
their supplication
doth
fall
before Jehovah
, and they
turn back
each
from his evil
way ,
for great `is'
the anger and the
fury that Jehovah
hath
spoken
concerning
this people. '
So
Baruch son of Neriah did
everything
that Jeremiah the prophet had
commanded him .
In the house
of
the
LORD
he
read
the words of the
LORD
from
the scroll
.
And
Baruch son of Neriah doth
according
to
all
that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him ,
to
read
in the book
the words of Jehovah
in
the house
of
Jehovah
.
Now
in the ninth
month
of
the
fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, a fast before the
LORD
was
proclaimed
to
all the people of
Jerusalem and all who had
come
there
from the
cities of Judah .
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, in
the
ninth
month,
proclaimed
a fast before Jehovah
have
all the people in
Jerusalem ,
and all the
people
who are
coming
in
from cities of Judah to
Jerusalem;
From
the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, which
was
in the upper
courtyard
at the opening of the New Gate of the house of the
LORD
, Baruch
read
from
the
scroll
the
words
of
Jeremiah
in the hearing
of all the people.
and
Baruch
readeth
in
the book
the
words
of
Jeremiah
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
in
the
chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher
court,
at the opening of the new gate of the house of Jehovah
, in the ears
of all the people.
When
Micaiah
son of Gemariah, the
son of Shaphan, heard
all the words of the
LORD
from the scroll
,
And
Michaiah
son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heareth
all the words of Jehovah
from off
the book
,
he went
down to the scribe’s
chamber in
the king’s
palace
, where
all the officials
were
sitting: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor
, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other
officials
.
and
he goeth
down `
to '
the house
of
the
king,
unto
the
chamber of
the scribe
, and
lo,
there
are
all the heads
sitting: Elishama the scribe, and
Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and
Elnathan son of Acbor
, and
Gemariah son of Shaphan, and
Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the heads
.
And Micaiah
reported
to them all the words he had
heard Baruch read
from
the scroll
in the hearing
of the people .
And declare
to them doth
Micaiah
all the words that
he hath
heard ,
when
Baruch readeth
in
the book
in the ears
of the people ;
Then
all the officials
sent
word
to
Baruch through
Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the
son of Shelemiah, the
son of Cushi, saying, “Bring
the scroll
that
you
read in the hearing
of the people, and come here
. ”
So
Baruch son of Neriah took
the scroll
and went
to
them .
and
all the heads
send
unto
Baruch ,
Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, `
The roll
in
which
thou
hast
read in the ears
of the people take
in
thy
hand
, and come. '
And
Baruch son of Neriah taketh
the roll
in
his
hand
and cometh
in
unto
them ,
“Please
sit down, ”
they
said
, “
and read it in our hearing.”
So
Baruch read
it
in their hearing.
and
they
say
unto
him,
`
Sit down, we
pray
thee
, and read it in our ears,'
and
Baruch readeth
in their ears,
When they had
heard
all these
words, they turned
to
one another in
fear
and said
to
Baruch, “Surely
we must
report
all
these
words
to the king. ”
and
it
cometh
to
pass,
when they hear
all the
words, they have
been
afraid
one at
another ,
and say
unto
Baruch, `
We do
surely
declare
to the king all
these
words
. '
“Tell
us
now,”
they asked Baruch, “
how did
you
write all these words ?
Was
it
at
Jeremiah’s
dictation
? ”
And
they asked Baruch, saying,
`Declare,
we
pray
thee,
to
us,
how didst
thou
write all these words --
from
his
mouth
? '
“It
was
at
his dictation
, ”
Baruch
replied.
“
He recited
all these words to
me
and I wrote
them
in
ink
on the scroll
. ”
And
Baruch
saith
to
them,
`From
his mouth
, he pronounceth
unto
me
all these words ,
and I am
writing
on the book
with
ink
. '
Then
the officials
said
to
Baruch, “You
and Jeremiah must
hide
yourselves
and tell
no one where you
are. ”
And
the heads
say
unto
Baruch, `Go,
be
hidden,
thou
and Jeremiah ,
and let
no one know
where ye
`
are '
. '
So
the
officials
went
to
the king in
the courtyard.
And having
stored
the scroll
in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, they reported
everything
to
the king.
And
they
go
in
unto
the king ,
to
the court,
and the roll
they
have
laid
up
in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and
they declare
in
the ears
of
the
king all
the
words
.
Then
the king sent
Jehudi to get
the scroll
, and he took
it from
the chamber of Elishama the scribe .
And Jehudi read
it in the hearing
of the king and all the officials
who were
standing beside
him.
And
the king sendeth
Jehudi to take
the roll
, and he taketh
it out
of
the chamber of Elishama the scribe ,
and Jehudi readeth
it in the ears
of the king ,
and in
the
ears
of
all the heads
who are
standing by
the
king;
Since
it
was
the
ninth
month,
the king was
sitting in his
winter quarters
with
a
fire
burning
before him .
and
the king is
sitting in the
winter -house,
in
the
ninth
month,
and
the
stove
before him is
burning,
And as
soon
as
Jehudi had
read
three or four columns
, Jehoiakim
would
cut
them
off
with a
scribe’s
knife and throw
them
into
the firepot
, until
the entire
scroll
had
been
consumed
by the fire.
and it
cometh
to
pass,
when
Jehudi readeth
three or four leaves
, he
cutteth
it
out
with the
scribe's
knife ,
and hath
cast
unto
the fire
, that
`is'
on
the stove,
till
the
consumption
of
all
the
roll
by the fire that
`is'
on
the
stove
.
Yet
in
hearing
all
these
words,
the king and his servants did
not become
frightened
or
tear
their garments.
And
the king and all
his servants who
are
hearing
all
these
words
have
not been
afraid,
nor
rent
their garments.
Even
though
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged
the king not to burn the scroll
, he would
not listen
to
them.
And
also
Elnathan, and
Delaiah, and Gemariah have
interceded
with
the king not to burn the roll
, and
he hath
not hearkened
unto
them.
Instead,
the king commanded
Jerahmeel ,
a
son of the
king
, as
well
as
Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize
Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet .
But
the
LORD
had
hidden
them.
And
the king commandeth
Jerahmeel son of Hammelek
, and
Seraiah son of Azriel ,
and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to take
Baruch the scribe ,
and Jeremiah the prophet ,
and
Jehovah
doth
hide
them.
After the king
had
burned
the scroll
containing
the words that Baruch had
written at
Jeremiah’s
dictation,
the word
of the
LORD
came
to
Jeremiah:
And
there
is
a
word
of
Jehovah
unto
Jeremiah
--
after the king's
burning
the roll,
even
the words that Baruch hath
written from
the mouth
of Jeremiah --
saying
:
“
Take another scroll
and rewrite
on it the very
words that were on the original
scroll
, which
Jehoiakim king of Judah has
burned.
`Turn,
take to
thee
another roll,
and write
on it all
the former
words that were on the first
roll
, that
Jehoiakim king of Judah burnt,
You
are
to
proclaim
concerning
Jehoiakim king of Judah that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: You
have
burned
the
scroll
and
said, ‘Why
have
you
written on it that
the king of Babylon would
surely come
and destroy
this land and deprive
it of
man and beast? ’
and
unto
Jehoiakim king of Judah thou
dost
say
: Thus
said Jehovah
, Thou
hast
burnt
this
roll,
saying,
Wherefore
hast
thou
written on it ,
saying,
The king of Babylon surely cometh
in,
and hath
destroyed
this land ,
and caused
to
cease
from
it man and beast?
Therefore this
is
what
the
LORD
says
about
Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will
have
no
one
to
sit
on David’s
throne, and his body
will
be
thrown
out and
exposed
to heat by day and frost
by night .
`
Therefore ,
thus
said
Jehovah,
concerning
Jehoiakim king of Judah: He hath
none
sitting
on the
throne of
David
, and his carcase
is
cast
out to heat by day ,
and to
cold
by night ;
I will
punish
him and his descendants
and servants for
their iniquity .
I will
bring
on them, on the residents
of Jerusalem, and on
the men of Judah, all the calamity
about
which
I warned
them but
they did
not listen
. ”
and
I have
charged
on
him ,
and on
his seed,
and on
his
servants ,
their iniquity ;
and
I have
brought
in
on them, and
on the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, and unto
the men of Judah, all the evil
that
I have
spoken
unto
them ,
and
they hearkened
not. '
Then
Jeremiah took
another scroll
and gave
it to
the
scribe
Baruch son of Neriah, and at
Jeremiah’s
dictation
he wrote
on it all the words of the scroll
that Jehoiakim king of Judah had
burned
in the fire .
And many
similar
words
were added to
them.
And
Jeremiah hath
taken
another roll,
and giveth
it unto
Baruch son of Neriah the
scribe
, and he writeth
on it from
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah
all the words of the book
that Jehoiakim king of Judah hath
burnt
in the fire ;
and again
there
were added unto
them many
words
like
these
.
