13Then Micaiah told them everything he had heard Baruch read from the scroll to the people.
14So all the officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, "Bring the scroll from which you have read aloud to the people, and come." So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and went to them.
15The officials said to him, "Please sit down and read it to us." So Baruch read it to them.
16When they heard all the words, they turned to each other in fear and said to Baruch, "We must report all these words to the king."
17Then they asked Baruch, "Tell us, how did you write all these words? Did Jeremiah dictate to you?"
18Baruch answered them, "Jeremiah dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them down with ink on the scroll."
19The officials said to Baruch, "You and Jeremiah must hide, and don’t let anyone know where you are."
20After they put the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the secretary, they went to the king in the courtyard and reported all these words to him.
21The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from the chamber of Elishama the secretary and read it aloud to the king and all the officials standing by him.
