• Jeremiah 36:11

• Jeremiah 36:13

  Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

  Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.

• Jeremiah 36:15

  They said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.

• Jeremiah 36:16

• Jeremiah 36:17

  They asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, How did you write all these words at his mouth?”

• Jeremiah 36:18

• Jeremiah 36:20

  They went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.

• Jeremiah 36:21

• Jeremiah 36:22

  Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month: and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.

• Jeremiah 36:24

  The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments.

• Jeremiah 36:25

  Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them.

• Jeremiah 36:26

  The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Yahweh hid them.

• Jeremiah 36:27

  Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

• Jeremiah 36:28

  “Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.

• Jeremiah 36:29

  Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Yahweh says: “You have burned this scroll, saying, “Why have you written therein, saying, ‘The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and animal?’”’

• Jeremiah 36:30

  Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He will have no one to sit on David’s throne. His dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

• Jeremiah 36:31

  I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn’t listen.”’”

• Jeremiah 36:32

• Jeremiah 37:18

  Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?

• Jeremiah 37:19

  Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land?’

• Jeremiah 37:20

  Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Now put these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords.” Jeremiah did so.

• Jeremiah 38:13

• Jeremiah 38:14

  Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to himself into the third entry that is in Yahweh’s house. Then the king said to Jeremiah, “I will ask you something. Hide nothing from me.”

• Jeremiah 39:13

  they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people.

• Jeremiah 39:15

• Jeremiah 39:17

  But I will deliver you in that day,’ says Yahweh; ‘and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.

  The captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, “Yahweh your God pronounced this evil on this place;

• Jeremiah 40:3

  and Yahweh has brought it, and done according as he spoke: because you have sinned against Yahweh, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing has come on you.

• Jeremiah 40:4

  Now, behold, I release you today from the chains which are on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will take care of you; but if it seems bad to you to come with me into Babylon, don’t. Behold, all the land is before you. Where it seems good and right to you to go, there go.”

  and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication be presented before you, and pray for us to Yahweh your God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes do see us;

• Jeremiah 42:3

  that Yahweh your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the thing that we should do.”

• Jeremiah 42:4

  Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you; behold, I will pray to Yahweh your God according to your words; and it shall happen that whatever thing Yahweh shall answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back from you.”

• Jeremiah 42:5

  Then they said to Jeremiah, “May Yahweh be a true and faithful witness among us, if we don’t do according to all the word with which Yahweh your God shall send you to us.

• Jeremiah 42:6

  Whether it is good, or whether it is bad, we will obey the voice of Yahweh our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of Yahweh our God.”

• Jeremiah 43:1

  When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, with which Yahweh their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

• Jeremiah 43:2

  then Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely. Yahweh our God has not sent you to say, ‘You shall not go into Egypt to live there;’

• Jeremiah 43:3

  but Baruch the son of Neriah has turned you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon.”

• Jeremiah 43:7

  and they came into the land of Egypt; for they didn’t obey Yahweh’s voice: and they came to Tahpanhes.

• Jeremiah 43:8

  Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

• Jeremiah 43:9

  “Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in mortar in the brick work, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

• Jeremiah 43:10

  and tell them, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

  I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he shall go out from there in peace.

• Jeremiah 51:62

  and say, ‘Yahweh, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that no one will dwell in it, neither man nor animal, but that it will be desolate forever.’
