*
And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him ,
reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORDS house .
*
And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah ,
in the ninth month ,
that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem ,
and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem .
*
Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD ,
in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe ,
in the higher court ,
at the entry of thew gate of the LORDS house ,
in the ears of all the people .
*
When Michaiah the son of Gemariah ,
the son of Shaphan ,
had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD ,
*
Then he went down into the kings house ,
into the scribes chamber :
and ,
lo ,
all the princes sat there ,
even Elishama the scribe ,
and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah Sh @

and Elnathan the son of Achbor ,
and Gemariah the son of Shaphan ,
and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah ,
and all the princes .
*
Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard ,
when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people .
*
Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah ,
the son of Shelemiah ,
the son of Cushi ,
unto Baruch ,
saying ,
Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people ,
and come .
So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand ,
and came unto them .
*
And they said unto him ,
Sit down now ,
and read it in our ears .
So Baruch read it in their ears .
*
Now it came to pass ,
when they had heard all the words ,
they were afraid both one and other ,
and said unto Baruch ,
We will surely tell the king of all these words .
*
And they asked Baruch ,
saying ,
Tell us now ,
How didst thou write all these words at his mouth ?
*
Then Baruch answered them ,
He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth ,
and I wrote them with ink in the book .
