    9Now it came about in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that it was given out publicly that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem, were to keep from food before the Lord.

    10Then Baruch gave a public reading of the words of Jeremiah from the book, in the house of the Lord, in the room of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher square, as one goes in by the new doorway of the Lord's house, in the hearing of all the people.

    11And Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, after hearing all the words of the Lord from the book,

    12Went down to the king's house, to the scribe's room: and all the rulers were seated 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 rulers.

    13Then Micaiah gave them an account of all the words which had come to his ears when Baruch was reading the book to the people.

    14So all the rulers sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the book from which you have been reading to the people and come. So Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the book in his hand and came down to them.

    15Then they said to him, Be seated now, and give us a reading from it. So Baruch did so, reading it to them.

    16Now it came about that, after hearing all the words, they said to one another in fear, We will certainly give the king an account of all these words.

    17And questioning Baruch, they said, Say now, how did you put all these words down in writing from his mouth?

    18Then Baruch, answering, said, He said all these things to me by word of mouth, and I put them down with ink in the book.

    19Then the rulers said to Baruch, Go and put yourself in a safe place, you and Jeremiah, and let no man have knowledge of where you are.

    20Then they went into the open square to the king; but the book they put away in the room of Elishama the scribe; and they gave the king an account of all the words.

    21So the king sent Jehudi to get the book, and he took it from the room of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi gave a reading of it in the hearing of the king and all the rulers who were by the king's side.
