​Jeremiah 36:1 - 2

​In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: "Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah and all the other nations from the time I began speaking to you in the reign of Josiah till now."

​Jeremiah 36:4 - 7

​So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and while Jeremiah dictated all the words the Lord had spoken to him, Baruch wrote them on the scroll. Then Jeremiah told Baruch, "I am restricted; I cannot go to the Lord's temple. So you go to the house of the Lord on a day of fasting and read to the people from the scroll the words as I dictated. Read them to all the people of Judah who come in from the towns. Perhaps they will bring their petition before the Lord, and ach will turn from his wicked ways, for the anger and wrath pronounced against this people by the Lord are great."

​Jeremiah 36:11-15

​When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll, he went down to the secretary's room in the royal palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elanathan son of Acbor, Germariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials. After Miciah told them everying he had heard Baruch read to the people from the scroll, all the officials sent Jehudi son of Nathaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to say to Baruch, "Bring the scroll from which you have read to the people and come." So Baruch son of Neriah went to them with the scroll in his hand. They said to him, "Sit down, please and read it to us."

​Jeremiah 36:20-23

​After they put the scroll in the room of Elishama the secretary, they went tot the king in the courtyard and reported everything to him. The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and Jehudi brought it from the room of Elishama and read it to the king and all the officials standing beside him. It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in the winter apartment, where a fire was burning in the firepot in front of him. Whenever Jehudi had read three or four columns fo the scroll, the king cut them off with a scribe's knife and them threw them into the firepot until the entire scroll was burned in the fire.

​Jeremiah 36:24-26

​The king and all his attendants who heard all these words showed no fear, nor did they tear their clothes. Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet. But the Lord had hidden them.

​Jeremiah 36: 27-29

​After the king burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah's dictation, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: "Take another scroll and write on it all the words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up. Also tell Jehoiakim king of Judah, 'This is what the Lord says: You burned the scroll and said, "Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon would certainly come and destroy this land and cut off both men and animals from it?"

​Jeremiah 36:30-31

​Therefore, this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on the throne of David; his body will be thrown out and exposed to the heat of the day and the frost of the night. I will punish him and his children and his attendants for their wickedness; I will bring on him and those living in Jerusalem and the people of Judah every disaster I pronounced against them because they have not listened.

​Jeremiah 36:32

​So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and as Jeremiah dictated, Baruch 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.
