36:11 Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and the grandson of Shaphan, heard Baruch read from the scroll everything the Lord had said. 1 36:12 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 2 the royal secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, 3 Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials were seated there. 36:13 Micaiah told them everything he had heard Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people. 4 36:14 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 5 the scroll you read in the hearing of the people.” 6 So Baruch son of Neriah went to them, carrying the scroll in his hand. 7 36:15 They said to him, “Please sit down and read it to us.” So Baruch sat down and read it to them. 8 36:16 When they had heard it all, 9 they expressed their alarm to one another. 10 Then they said to Baruch, “We must certainly give the king a report about everything you have read!” 11 36:17 Then they asked Baruch, “How did you come to write all these words? Do they actually come from Jeremiah’s mouth?” 12 36:18 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.” 13 36:19 Then the officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must go and hide. You must not let anyone know where you are.” 14
