    13Micaiah told them everything he had heard Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people.

    14All the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch. They ordered him to tell Baruch,“Come here and bring with you the scroll you read in the hearing of the people.” So Baruch son of Neriah went to them, carrying the scroll in his hand.

    15They said to him,“Please sit down and read it to us.” So Baruch sat down and read it to them.

    16When they had heard it all, they expressed their alarm to one another. Then they said to Baruch,“We must certainly give the king a report about everything you have read!”

    17Then they asked Baruch,“How did you come to write all these words? Do they actually come from Jeremiah’s mouth?”

    18Baruch answered,“Yes, they came from his own mouth. He dictated all these words to me and I wrote them down in ink on this scroll.”

    19Then the officials said to Baruch,“You and Jeremiah must go and hide. You must not let anyone know where you are.”

    20The officials put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the royal secretary, for safekeeping. Then they went to the court and reported everything to the king.

    22Since it was the ninth month of the year, the king was sitting in his winter quarters. A fire was burning in the firepot in front of him.

    23As soon as Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll, the king would cut them off with a penknife and throw them on the fire in the firepot. He kept doing so until the whole scroll was burned up in the fire.

    24Neither he nor any of his attendants showed any alarm when they heard all that had been read. Nor did they tear their clothes to show any grief or sorrow.
