Jeremiah 36

1And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Jeremiah 25:1, Jeremiah 25:1, Jeremiah 35:1, 2 Chronicles 36:5, Jeremiah 45:1
2Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
Jeremiah 30:2, Jeremiah 30:2, Exodus 17:14, Jeremiah 25:3, Jeremiah 1:10
3It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
Jeremiah 18:8, Jeremiah 18:8, Acts 3:19, Acts 3:19, Jeremiah 26:3
4Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
Jeremiah 32:12, Jeremiah 32:12, Jeremiah 36:32, Ezekiel 2:9, Jeremiah 36:32
5And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the Lord:
Jeremiah 32:2, Jeremiah 33:1, Jeremiah 32:2, Jeremiah 33:1, 2 Corinthians 11:23
6Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord in the ears of the people in the Lord’s house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
Jeremiah 36:8, Jeremiah 36:9, Jeremiah 36:8, Jeremiah 36:9, Jeremiah 7:2
7It may be they will present their supplication before the Lord, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the Lord hath pronounced against this people.
Jeremiah 36:3, Jeremiah 36:3, Hosea 5:15, Hosea 6:1, Jeremiah 4:4
8And 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 Lord’s house.
Jeremiah 1:17, Jeremiah 1:17, Jeremiah 36:4, Philippians 2:19, Philippians 2:22
9And 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.
2 Chronicles 20:3, 2 Chronicles 20:3, Esther 4:16, Jonah 3:5, Jeremiah 36:22
10Then 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 the new gate of the Lord’s house, in the ears of all the people.
Jeremiah 36:11, Jeremiah 36:11, Jeremiah 26:10, Jeremiah 52:25, Jeremiah 26:10
11When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord,
2 Kings 22:12, 2 Kings 22:14, 2 Kings 25:22, 2 Chronicles 34:20, Jeremiah 36:10
12Then he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
Jeremiah 26:22, Jeremiah 26:22, Jeremiah 36:25, 2 Kings 22:12, Jeremiah 36:25
13Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
2 Kings 22:10, 2 Kings 22:10, 2 Chronicles 34:16, 2 Chronicles 34:18, 2 Chronicles 34:24
14Therefore 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.
Jeremiah 36:2, Jeremiah 36:2, 2 Kings 25:23, Zephaniah 1:1, Matthew 10:28
15And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.
16Now 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.
Jeremiah 36:24, Amos 7:10, Amos 7:11, Jeremiah 13:18, Jeremiah 36:24
17And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
John 9:15, John 9:15, John 9:10, John 9:11, John 9:26
18Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
Jeremiah 36:4, Jeremiah 36:4, Jeremiah 36:2, Jeremiah 36:2, Jeremiah 43:2
19Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.

21So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe’s chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
2 Kings 22:10, 2 Kings 22:10, Ezekiel 2:4, Ezekiel 2:5, 2 Chronicles 34:18
22Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
Amos 3:15, Amos 3:15, Jeremiah 22:14, Jeremiah 22:16, Jeremiah 36:9
23And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
1 Kings 22:8, 1 Kings 22:8, Proverbs 19:21, Proverbs 1:30, Isaiah 5:18
24Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

27Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 36:4, Jeremiah 36:4
28Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
Zechariah 1:5, Zechariah 1:6, Zechariah 1:5, Zechariah 1:6, 2 Timothy 2:13
29And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
Jeremiah 26:9, Isaiah 30:10, Jeremiah 26:9, Isaiah 30:10, Isaiah 45:9
30Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
Jeremiah 22:30, Jeremiah 22:30, 2 Kings 24:12, 2 Kings 24:15, 2 Kings 24:12
31And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.
