RF JER 36:1 Jeremiah Ordered to Record His Prophecies.
It was in the fourth year of Jhoiakim-ben-Joshiah, king of Judah, that this command came to Jeremiah from the EVER-LIVING to say:
RF JER 36:2 "Prepare for yourself a book-roll and write upon it the whole of the speeches I have dictated to you about Israel and Judah, and all the nations, from the day I spoke to you,—from the days of Joshiah to this day.
RF JER 36:3 Perhaps the House of Judah will listen to all the misery I contemplate to produce for them, and may each one turn from his wicked way,—when I will forgive their frailties and sins."
RF JER 36:4 Jeremiah therefore invited Baruk-ben-Nediah, and he wrote, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words which the EVER-LIVING had spoken to him, upon the volume.
RF JER 36:5 Then Jeremiah instructed Baruk, saying: "I am imprisoned and cannot go to the House of the EVER-LIVING,—
RF JER 36:6 but you go, and read from this volume what you have written from my mouth of the speeches of the EVER-LIVING, in the ears of the people in the House of the EVER-LIVING, upon the fast day;—and also read it in the hearing of all Judah who come from their villages.
RF JER 36:7 Perhaps you will implore them before the EVER-LIVING, and some will turn from their bad way;—for the anger and wrath which the LORD proclaims against this people is great."
RF JER 36:8 Baruk Reads the Roll in the Temple Court.
Baruk-ben-Nediah did as Jeremiah the Preacher instructed him, and read from the volume the messages of the EVER-LIVING in the House of the EVER-LIVING.
RF JER 36:9 This was done in the fifth year of Jhoiakim-ben-Joshiah, King of Judah, in the eighth month when a Fast was proclaimed before the EVER-LIVING for all the people of Jerusalem, and all the people of Judah who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem.
RF JER 36:10 Baruk then read the speeches of Jeremiah from the book in the House of the EVER-LIVING, in the chamber of Ghemeriah-ben-Shafan, the Recorder, in the higher court opposite the New Gate of the House of the EVER-LIVING, in the hearing of all the people.—
RF JER 36:11 But Makiah-ben-Ghemeriah-ben-Shafan heard all the messages of the EVER-LIVING from the Book,
RF JER 36:12 and he descended to the Royal Palace, to the office of the Recorder, and found all the officials sitting there, Alishamah the Recorder, and Ghedaliah-ben-Shemiah, and Alnathan-ben-Akbor, and Ghemeriah-ben-Shafan, and Zidikiah-ben-Hananiah, and other officers,
RF JER 36:13 and Makiah reported to them all the things he had heard read by Baruk from the Book in the hearing of the people.
RF JER 36:14 The officials consequently sent to Baruk, Judi the son of Nathaniah-ben-Shelemiah-ben-Kusi, to say, "Take the volume that you are reading in the hearing of the people in your hand and come." So Baruk-ben-Nediah took the volume in his hand and went with them,
RF JER 36:15 and they said, "Sit down if you please, and read it in our hearing." Baruk consequently read it in their hearing.
RF JER 36:16 But when they heard all the messages, each was terrified at his friend, and said to Baruk, "We must report the whole of these matters to the King!"
RF JER 36:17 And asked Baruk, "Tell us, now, how you wrote all these speeches from his mouth?"
RF JER 36:18 And Baruk replied to them, "He dictated to me from his mouth all these speeches, and I wrote them on the book with my hand."
RF JER 36:19 Then the officers said to Baruk, "Go, hide yourself and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are."
RF JER 36:20 Joiakim hears Part read, and then burns the book.
They afterwards went to the court of the King,—but placed the volume in the office of Alishamah the Recorder, and reported the affair to the ears of the King.
RF JER 36:21 The King therefore sent Judi to fetch the volume, who brought it from the office of Alishamah the Recorder. Judi then read it in the hearing of the King, and in the hearing of all the officials who stood near the king.
RF JER 36:22 At the time the king was staying in the Winter Palace, in the ninth month, and there was a fireplace opposite him,
RF JER 36:23 so when Judi had read three or four passages, he cut the book with a penknife, and flung it upon the fire in the grate until he had consumed the whole volume in the fire that was in the grate.
RF JER 36:24 And neither the king, nor any of his ministers feared, or tore their robes at hearing all those threatenings!
RF JER 36:25 However, Alnathan, and Ghedaliah, and Ghemeriah, entreated the king not to burn the volume. But he would not listen to them.
RF JER 36:26 The king then ordered Irakhmal-ben-Amalek, and Sariah-ben-Azrial, and Shelemiah-ben-Abdial, to seize Baruk the writer, and Jeremiah the Preacher. But the EVER-LIVING concealed them.
RF JER 36:27 Jeremiah Ordered to Rewrite his Prophecies.
Then the command of the EVER-LIVING came to Jeremiah, after the king had burnt the volume, and the messages that were written by Baruk from the dictation of Jeremiah, to say:—
RF JER 36:28 "Take another volume again for yourself, and write in it all the former threatenings, which were in the first volume that Jhoiakim, king of Judah, burnt.
RF JER 36:29 And say against Jhoiakim, king of Judah, 'Thus says the EVER LIVING, you have burnt this volume, demanding, 'Why have you written it? Asserting that the king of Babel will come, and desolate this country, and capture from it man and cattle?'
RF JER 36:30 Therefore the EVER-LIVING replies thus to Jhoiakim, king of Judah,—He shall not rest on the throne of David, but his carcase shall be flung out to the heat of day and the cold of night
RF JER 36:31 And I will fix upon him, and his race, and his ministers their faults! I will also bring upon them, and the population of Jerusalem, and the men of Judah, all the misery which I have threatened to them,—but they would not listen!'"
RF JER 36:32 Jeremiah Again Writes.
Jeremiah consequently prepared another volume, and gave it to Baruk, the writer, and he wrote in it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the messages of the book that Jhoiakim, king of Judah, had burnt in the fire, and added further to them many other things.
