Thus{H587} should we commit{H6213} great{H1419} evil{H7451} against our own souls.{H5315} 20 And there was also a man{H376} that prophesied{H5012} in the name{H8034} of Jehovah,{H3068} Uriah{H223} the son{H1121} of Shemaiah{H8098} of Kiriath-jearim;{H7157} and he prophesied{H5012} against this city{H5892} and against this land{H776} according to all the words{H1697} of Jeremiah:{H3414} 21 and when Jehoiakim{H3079} the king,{H4428} with all his mighty-men,{H1368} and all the princes,{H8269} heard{H8085} his words,{H1697} the king{H4428} sought{H1245} to put him to death;{H4191} but when Uriah{H223} heard{H8085} it, he was afraid,{H3372} and fled,{H1272} and went{H935} into Egypt:{H4714} 22 and Jehoiakim{H3079} the king{H4428} sent{H7971} men{H582} into Egypt,{H4714} [namely], Elnathan{H494} the son{H1121} of Achbor,{H5907} and certain men{H582} with him, into Egypt;{H4714} 23 and they fetched forth{H3318} Uriah{H223} out of Egypt,{H4714} and brought{H935} him unto Jehoiakim{H3079} the king,{H4428} who slew{H5221} him with the sword,{H2719} and cast{H7993} his dead body{H5038} into the graves{H6913} of the common{H1121} people.{H5971} 24 But the hand{H3027} of Ahikam{H296} the son{H1121} of Shaphan{H8227} was with Jeremiah,{H3414} that they should not give{H5414} him into the hand{H3027} of the people{H5971} to put him to death.{H4191}
- Jer 36:1-9 : 1 And it came to pass in the fourth{H7243} year{H8141} of Jehoiakim{H3079} the son{H1121} of Josiah,{H2977} king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} that this word{H1697} came unto Jeremiah{H3414} from Jehovah,{H3068} saying,{H559} 2 Take{H3947} thee a roll{H4039} of a book,{H5612} and write{H3789} therein all the words{H1697} that I have spoken{H1696} unto thee against Israel,{H3478} and against Judah,{H3063} and against all the nations,{H1471} from the day{H3117} I spake{H1696} unto thee, from the days{H3117} of Josiah,{H2977} even unto this day.{H3117} 3 It may be that the house{H1004} of Judah{H3063} will hear{H8085} all the evil{H7451} which I purpose{H2803} to do{H6213} unto them; that they may return{H7725} every man{H376} from his evil{H7451} way;{H1870} that I may forgive{H5545} their iniquity{H5771} and their sin.{H2403} 4 Then Jeremiah{H3414} called{H7121} Baruch{H1263} the son{H1121} of Neriah;{H5374} and Baruch{H1263} wrote{H3789} from the mouth{H6310} of Jeremiah{H3414} all the words{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} which he had spoken{H1696} unto him, upon a roll{H4039} of a book.{H5612} 5 And Jeremiah{H3414} commanded{H6680} Baruch,{H1263} saying,{H559} I am shut up;{H6113} I cannot{H3201} go{H935} into the house{H1004} of Jehovah:{H3068} 6 therefore go{H935} thou, and read{H7121} in the roll,{H4039} which thou hast written{H3789} from my mouth,{H6310} the words{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} in the ears{H241} of the people{H5971} in Jehovah's{H3068} house{H1004} upon the {H6685} fast-day;{H3117} and also thou shalt read{H7121} them in the ears{H241} of all Judah{H3063} that come out{H935} of their cities.{H5892} 7 It may be they will present{H5307} their supplication{H8467} before{H6440} Jehovah,{H3068} and will return{H7725} every one{H376} from his evil{H7451} way;{H1870} for great{H1419} is the anger{H639} and the wrath{H2534} that Jehovah{H3068} hath pronounced{H1696} against this people.{H5971} 8 And Baruch{H1263} the son{H1121} of Neriah{H5374} did{H6213} according to all that Jeremiah{H3414} the prophet{H5030} commanded{H6680} him, reading{H7121} in the book{H5612} the words{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} in Jehovah's{H3068} house.{H1004} 9 Now it came to pass in the fifth{H2549} year{H8141} of Jehoiakim{H3079} the son{H1121} of Josiah,{H2977} king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} in the ninth{H8671} month,{H2320} that all the people{H5971} in Jerusalem,{H3389} and all the people{H5971} that came{H935} from the cities{H5892} of Judah{H3063} unto Jerusalem,{H3389} proclaimed{H7121} a fast{H6685} before{H6440} Jehovah.{H3068} 10 Then read{H7121} Baruch{H1263} in the book{H5612} the words{H1697} of Jeremiah{H3414} in the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} in the chamber{H3957} of Gemariah{H1587} the son{H1121} of Shaphan,{H8227} the scribe,{H5608} in the upper{H5945} court,{H2691} at the entry{H6607} of the new{H2319} gate{H8179} of Jehovah's{H3068} house,{H1004} in the ears{H241} of all the people.{H5971} 11 And when Micaiah{H4321} the son{H1121} of Gemariah,{H1587} the son{H1121} of Shaphan,{H8227} had heard{H8085} out of the book{H5612} all the words{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} 12 he went down{H3381} into the king's{H4428} house,{H1004} into the scribe's{H5608} chamber:{H3957} and, lo, all the princes{H8269} were sitting{H3427} there, to wit, Elishama{H476} the scribe,{H5608} and Delaiah{H1806} the son{H1121} of Shemaiah,{H8098} and Elnathan{H494} the son{H1121} of Achbor,{H5907} and Gemariah{H1587} the son{H1121} of Shaphan,{H8227} and Zedekiah{H6667} the son{H1121} of Hananiah,{H2608} and all the princes.{H8269} 13 Then Micaiah{H4321} declared{H5046} unto them all the words{H1697} that he had heard,{H8085} when Baruch{H1263} read{H7121} the book{H5612} in the ears{H241} of the people.{H5971} 14 Therefore all the princes{H8269} sent{H7971} Jehudi{H3065} the son{H1121} of Nethaniah,{H5418} the son{H1121} of Shelemiah,{H8018} the son{H1121} of Cushi,{H3570} unto Baruch,{H1263} saying,{H559} Take{H3947} in thy hand{H3027} the roll{H4039} wherein thou hast read{H7121} in the ears{H241} of the people,{H5971} and come.{H3212} So Baruch{H1263} the son{H1121} of Neriah{H5374} took{H3947} the roll{H4039} in his hand,{H3027} and came{H935} unto them. 15 And they said{H559} unto him, Sit down{H3427} now, and read{H7121} it in our ears.{H241} So Baruch{H1263} read{H7121} it in their ears.{H241} 16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard{H8085} all the words,{H1697} they turned in fear{H6342} one{H376} toward{H413} another,{H7453} and said{H559} unto Baruch,{H1263} We will surely{H5046} tell{H5046} the king{H4428} of all these words.{H1697} 17 And they asked{H7592} Baruch,{H1263} saying,{H559} Tell{H5046} us now, How didst thou write{H3789} all these words{H1697} at his mouth?{H6310} 18 Then Baruch{H1263} answered{H559} them, He pronounced{H7121} all these words{H1697} unto me with his mouth,{H6310} and I wrote{H3789} them with ink{H1773} in the book.{H5612} 19 Then said{H559} the princes{H8269} unto Baruch,{H1263} Go,{H3212} hide{H5641} thee, thou and Jeremiah;{H3414} and let no man{H376} know{H3045} where{H375} ye are. 20 And they went in{H935} to the king{H4428} into the court;{H2691} but they had laid up{H6485} the roll{H4039} in the chamber{H3957} of Elishama{H476} the scribe;{H5608} and they told{H5046} all the words{H1697} in the ears{H241} of the king.{H4428} 21 So the king{H4428} sent{H7971} Jehudi{H3065} to fetch{H3947} the roll;{H4039} and he took{H3947} it out of the chamber{H3957} of Elishama{H476} the scribe.{H5608} And Jehudi{H3065} read{H7121} it in the ears{H241} of the king,{H4428} and in the ears{H241} of all the princes{H8269} that stood{H5975} beside{H5921} the king.{H4428} 22 Now the king{H4428} was sitting{H3427} in the winter-house{H1004} in the ninth{H8671} month:{H2320} and [there was a fire in] the brazier{H254} burning{H1197} before{H6440} him. 23 And it came to pass, when Jehudi{H3065} had read{H7121} three{H7969} or four{H702} leaves,{H1817} that [the king] cut{H7167} it with the penknife,{H8593} and cast{H7993} it into the fire{H784} that was in the brazier,{H254} until all the roll{H4039} was consumed{H8552} in the fire{H784} that was in the brazier.{H254} 24 And they were not afraid,{H6342} nor rent{H7167} their garments,{H899} neither the king,{H4428} nor any of his servants{H5650} that heard{H8085} all these words.{H1697} 25 Moreover Elnathan{H494} and Delaiah{H1806} and Gemariah{H1587} had made intercession{H6293} to the king{H4428} that he would not burn{H8313} the roll;{H4039} but he would not hear{H8085} them. 26 And the king{H4428} commanded{H6680} Jerahmeel{H3396} the king's{H4428} son,{H1121} and Seraiah{H8304} the son{H1121} of Azriel,{H5837} and Shelemiah{H8018} the son{H1121} of Abdeel,{H5655} to take{H3947} Baruch{H1263} the scribe{H5608} and Jeremiah{H3414} the prophet;{H5030} but Jehovah{H3068} hid{H5641} them. 27 Then the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came to Jeremiah,{H3414} after{H310} that the king{H4428} had burned{H8313} the roll,{H4039} and the words{H1697} which Baruch{H1263} wrote{H3789} at the mouth{H6310} of Jeremiah,{H3414} saying,{H559} 28 Take{H3947} thee again{H7725} another{H312} roll,{H4039} and write{H3789} in it all the former{H7223} words{H1697} that were in the first{H7223} roll,{H4039} which Jehoiakim{H3079} the king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} hath burned.{H8313} 29 And concerning Jehoiakim{H3079} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} thou shalt say,{H559} Thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} Thou hast burned{H8313} this roll,{H4039} saying,{H559} Why hast thou written{H3789} therein, saying,{H559} The king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} shall certainly{H935} come{H935} and destroy{H7843} this land,{H776} and shall cause to cease{H7673} from thence man{H120} and beast?{H929} 30 Therefore thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} concerning Jehoiakim{H3079} king{H4428} of Judah:{H3063} He shall have none to sit{H3427} upon the throne{H3678} of David;{H1732} and his dead body{H5038} shall be cast out{H7993} in the day{H3117} to the heat,{H2721} and in the night{H3915} to the frost.{H7140} 31 And I will punish{H6485} him and his seed{H2233} and his servants{H5650} for their iniquity;{H5771} and I will bring{H935} upon them, and upon the inhabitants{H3427} of Jerusalem,{H3389} and upon the men{H376} of Judah,{H3063} all the evil{H7451} that I have pronounced{H1696} against them, but they hearkened{H8085} not. 32 Then took{H3947} Jeremiah{H3414} another{H312} roll,{H4039} and gave{H5414} it to Baruch{H1263} the scribe,{H5608} the son{H1121} of Neriah,{H5374} who wrote{H3789} therein from the mouth{H6310} of Jeremiah{H3414} all the words{H1697} of the book{H5612} which Jehoiakim{H3079} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} had burned{H8313} in the fire;{H784} and there were added{H3254} besides unto them many{H7227} like{H1992} words.{H1697}
