JEREMIAH

Jeremiah 36

1And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:
Jeremiah 25:1, Jeremiah 25:1, Jeremiah 35:1, 2 Chronicles 36:5, Jeremiah 45:1
2Take thee a book-roll, and write upon it all the words which I have spoken to thee concerning Israel, and concerning Judah, and concerning all the nations, from the day when I began to speak to thee even to 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 to them, and return every one from his evil way, so 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 Jehovah which he had spoken to him, upon a book-roll.
Jeremiah 32:12, Jeremiah 32:12, Jeremiah 36:32, Ezekiel 2:9, Jeremiah 36:32
5And Jeremiah commanded Baruch and said: I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of Jehovah;
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 Jehovah, in the ears of the people, in the house of Jehovah, upon the fast-day; also in the ears of all Judah, that come out of their cities, shalt thou read them.
Jeremiah 36:8, Jeremiah 36:9, Jeremiah 36:8, Jeremiah 36:9, Jeremiah 7:2
7It may be that they will prostrate themselves in supplication before Jehovah, and will return every one from his evil way. For great is the anger and the indignation which Jehovah hath denounced 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 Jehovah in the house of Jehovah.
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 all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people that came out of the cities of Judah, proclaimed a fast before Jehovah, in 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 Jehovah, in the chamber of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entrance of the new gate of the house of Jehovah, in the ears of all the people.
Jeremiah 36:11, Jeremiah 36:11, Jeremiah 26:10, Jeremiah 52:25, Jeremiah 26:10
11And when Micah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard from the book all the words of Jehovah,
2 Kings 22:12, 2 Kings 22:14, 2 Kings 25:22, 2 Chronicles 34:20, Jeremiah 36:10
12he went down to the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber; and lo, all the princes were sitting there, 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 Micah declared to them all the words which 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
14Then all the princes sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, and said, "Take in thy 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 to them.
Jeremiah 36:2, Jeremiah 36:2, 2 Kings 25:23, Zephaniah 1:1, Matthew 10:28
15And they said to him, "Sit down now, and read it in our ears." And Baruch read it in their ears.
16And when they had heard all the words, they looked with consternation upon one another, and they said to Baruch, "We must tell the king of all these things."
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 from his mouth?"
John 9:15, John 9:15, John 9:10, John 9:11, John 9:26
18And Baruch said to them, "With his mouth he pronounced to me all these words, and I wrote them on the book with ink."
Jeremiah 36:4, Jeremiah 36:4, Jeremiah 36:2, Jeremiah 36:2, Jeremiah 43:2
19Then said the princes to Baruch, "Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man know where ye are."
1 Kings 17:3, 1 Kings 17:3, 1 Kings 18:4, Jeremiah 26:20, Jeremiah 26:24
20And they went in to the king into the court; but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and they told all these things in the ears of the king.
Jeremiah 36:12, Jeremiah 36:12, Jeremiah 36:21, Jeremiah 36:21
21Then the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll, and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood beside the king.
2 Kings 22:10, 2 Kings 22:10, Ezekiel 2:4, Ezekiel 2:5, 2 Chronicles 34:18
22And the king was sitting in the winter-house, in the ninth month, and a brasier was burning before him.
Amos 3:15, Amos 3:15, Jeremiah 22:14, Jeremiah 22:16, Jeremiah 36:9
23And when Jehudi had read three or four sections, he [the king] cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire, into the brasier, until the whole roll was consumed in the fire in the brasier.
1 Kings 22:8, 1 Kings 22:8, Proverbs 19:21, Proverbs 1:30, Isaiah 5:18
24And they were not afraid, and rent not their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants, who heard all these words;
Jeremiah 36:16, Jeremiah 36:16, Psalms 36:1, Psalms 36:1, 2 Kings 19:1
25and although Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah interceded with the king not to burn the roll, yet he would not hearken to them.
Acts 5:34, Acts 5:39, Genesis 37:22, Jeremiah 36:12, Acts 5:34
26And the king commanded Jerahmeel, the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah, the son of Azreel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet; but Jehovah had hid them.
1 Kings 19:10, 1 Kings 19:14, 1 Kings 17:3, Psalms 91:1, 1 Kings 19:1
27Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying:
Jeremiah 36:4, Jeremiah 36:4
28Take thee another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim, king of Judah, hath burned.
Zechariah 1:5, Zechariah 1:6, Zechariah 1:5, Zechariah 1:6, 2 Timothy 2:13
29And concerning Jehoiakim, king of Judah, thou shalt say, Thou hast burned this roll, saying, "Why hast thou written therein and said, The king of Babylon shall surely come and shall destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from it man and beast?"
Jeremiah 26:9, Isaiah 30:10, Jeremiah 26:9, Isaiah 30:10, Isaiah 45:9
30Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim, king of Judah: He shall have not one 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 offspring, 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 which I have pronounced against them, and they have not hearkened.
Proverbs 29:1, Proverbs 29:1, Jeremiah 35:17, Jeremiah 23:34, Jeremiah 19:15
32Then Jeremiah took another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim had burned in the fire; and there were added to them many words of the same kind.
Jeremiah 36:4, Jeremiah 36:4, Jeremiah 36:18, Jeremiah 36:18, Exodus 4:15
