König Jojakim verbrennt das Weissagungsbuch Jeremias
1Und es geschah im vierten Jahr Jojakims, des Sohnes Josias, des Königs von Juda, da erging dieses Wort vom HERRN an Jeremia: (Jer 25,1; Jer 35,1)2Nimm dir eine Buchrolle und schreibe alle Worte darauf, die ich zu dir geredet habe über Israel und über Juda und über alle Völker, von dem Tag an, da ich zu dir geredet habe, von den Tagen Josias an bis zu diesem Tag! (Jes 8,1; Jer 25,3; Jer 25,15; Jer 30,2; Jer 45,1)3Vielleicht werden die vom Haus Juda auf all das Unheil hören, das ich ihnen anzutun gedenke, und umkehren, jeder von seinem bösen Weg, sodass ich ihnen ihre Missetaten und ihre Sünden vergeben kann! (Jes 55,6; Jer 18,11; Jer 26,3; Jer 36,7; Jon 3,5; Apg 3,19)4Da rief Jeremia den Baruch, den Sohn Nerijas, und Baruch schrieb, wie Jeremia es ihm vorsagte, alle Worte des HERRN, die er zu ihm geredet hatte, auf eine Buchrolle. (Jer 32,10; Jer 36,17; Jer 36,32; Jer 43,3; Jer 45,1)5Und Jeremia befahl dem Baruch und sprach: Ich bin verhindert, sodass ich nicht in das Haus des HERRN gehen kann; (Jer 7,2; Jer 17,19)6darum geh du hinein und lies aus der Rolle vor, was du aufgeschrieben hast, wie ich es dir vorsagte, die Worte des HERRN, vor den Ohren des Volkes, im Haus des HERRN am Fastentag; auch vor den Ohren aller Juden, die aus ihren Städten kommen, sollst du sie lesen! (Jer 7,2; Jer 26,2; Jer 36,8; Jer 36,9; Hes 2,7; Joe 1,14; Joe 2,15; 2Tim 4,2)7Vielleicht wird ihr Flehen vor dem Angesicht des HERRN gelten und sie werden umkehren, jeder von seinem bösen Weg; denn groß ist der Zorn und Grimm, den der HERR gegen dieses Volk ausgesprochen hat! (2Kön 22,13; Joe 2,12)8Und Baruch, der Sohn Nerijas, machte es ganz so, wie ihm der Prophet Jeremia geboten hatte, indem er im Haus des HERRN aus dem Buch die Worte des HERRN vorlas. (Neh 8,1; Jer 1,17; Jer 36,6; Lk 4,16)9Und es geschah im fünften Jahr Jojakims, des Sohnes Josias, des Königs von Juda, im neunten Monat, dass man die ganze Bevölkerung von Jerusalem und alles Volk, das aus den Städten Judas nach Jerusalem kam, zu einem Fasten vor dem HERRN berief. (2Chr 20,3; Neh 9,1; Jes 58,1; Joe 2,12)10Da las Baruch aus dem Buch die Reden Jeremias im Haus des HERRN, in der Kammer Gemarjas, des Sohnes Schaphans, des Schreibers, im oberen Vorhof, am Eingang des neuen Tores des Hauses des HERRN, vor den Ohren des ganzen Volkes. (Jer 26,10; Jer 26,24; Jer 36,12)11Und Michaja, der Sohn Gemarjas, des Sohnes Schaphans, hörte alle Worte des HERRN aus dem Buch, (Jer 36,13)12und er ging in das Haus des Königs, in die Kanzlei hinab; und siehe, da saßen alle Fürsten, nämlich Elischama, der Kanzleischreiber, Delaja, der Sohn Schemajas, Elnathan, der Sohn Achbors, Gemarja, der Sohn Schaphans, Zedekia, der Sohn Hananjas, und alle Fürsten. (Jer 26,22; Jer 36,10)13Da verkündigte ihnen Michaja alle Worte, die er gehört hatte, als Baruch vor den Ohren des Volkes aus dem Buch vorlas. (Jer 36,10)14Da sandten alle Fürsten Jehudi, den Sohn Netanjas, des Sohnes Schelemjas, des Sohnes Kuschis, zu Baruch und ließen ihm sagen: Nimm die Rolle, aus der du vor den Ohren des Volkes gelesen hast, zur Hand und komm! Da nahm Baruch, der Sohn Nerijas, die Rolle in seine Hand und kam zu ihnen. (Jer 36,6; Jer 36,21)15Und sie sprachen zu ihm: Setze dich doch und lies sie vor unseren Ohren! So las Baruch vor ihren Ohren. (Jer 36,21)16Und es geschah, als sie alle Worte gehört hatten, da sahen sie einander erschrocken an und sprachen zu Baruch: Wir müssen dem König alle diese Worte berichten! (Jer 36,24; Dan 4,2; Dan 5,6; Apg 24,25)17Und sie fragten Baruch und sprachen: Sage uns doch, wie hast du alle diese Worte aus seinem Mund aufgeschrieben? (Jer 36,18)18Da antwortete ihnen Baruch: Er sagte mir alle diese Worte mündlich vor, und ich schrieb sie mit Tinte in das Buch! (Jer 36,2; Jer 36,4)19Da sprachen die Fürsten zu Baruch: Geh hin und verbirg dich mit Jeremia, damit niemand weiß, wo ihr seid! (1Kön 18,4; 1Kön 18,13; Spr 28,12; Spr 28,28; Jer 26,24)20Und sie gingen in den Hof zum König, nachdem sie die Rolle in der Kammer Elischamas, des Schreibers, niedergelegt hatten, und berichteten alle die Worte vor den Ohren des Königs. (Jer 36,15)21Da sandte der König den Jehudi, um die Rolle abzuholen. Und er brachte sie aus der Kammer Elischamas, des Schreibers, und Jehudi las sie vor den Ohren des Königs und vor den Ohren aller Fürsten, die bei dem König standen. (Jer 36,14)22Der König aber saß im Winterhaus — denn es war im neunten Monat —, und der Kohlentopf brannte vor ihm. (Esr 10,9; Am 3,15)23Und es geschah, sooft Jehudi drei oder vier Spalten gelesen hatte, schnitt er sie mit dem Schreibermesser heraus und warf sie in das Feuer, das im Kohlentopf war, bis die ganze Rolle im Feuer des Kohlentopfes verbrannt war. (Ps 50,17; Spr 1,30; Spr 29,1; Jes 30,10)24Und es war niemand, der darüber erschrak oder sein Gewand zerriss, weder der König noch alle seine Diener, obwohl sie alle diese Worte gehört hatten. (1Kön 21,27; 2Kön 22,11; Ps 36,2; Jes 26,11; Jer 36,16)25Doch baten Elnathan, Delaja und Gemarja den König, die Rolle nicht zu verbrennen; aber er hörte nicht auf sie. (Spr 13,13; Spr 24,24; Jer 13,15)26Und der König befahl dem Königssohn Jerachmeel, Seraja, dem Sohn Asriels, und Schelemja, dem Sohn Abdeels, den Schreiber Baruch und den Propheten Jeremia festzunehmen. Aber der HERR hielt sie verborgen. (1Kön 17,3; 1Kön 17,9; 2Chr 18,26; Ps 27,5; Ps 37,32; Ps 91,1; Ps 91,11; Ps 105,14; Jer 26,22; Am 5,10)27Nachdem nun der König die Rolle mit den Worten, die Baruch nach dem Diktat Jeremias niedergeschrieben hatte, verbrannt hatte, erging das Wort des HERRN an Jeremia folgendermaßen:28Nimm dir noch eine andere Rolle und schreibe darauf alle früheren Worte, die auf der ersten Rolle geschrieben standen, die Jojakim, der König von Juda, verbrannt hat! (Hi 23,13; Spr 19,21; Jer 36,4; Mt 24,35)29Und über Jojakim, den König von Juda, sage: So spricht der HERR: Du hast diese Rolle verbrannt, indem du sprachst: Warum hast du hineingeschrieben, dass der König von Babel gewiss kommen und dieses Land verwüsten und Menschen und Vieh daraus vertilgen wird? (2Kön 23,34; Jer 26,9; Jer 32,3; Jer 36,30)30Darum, so spricht der HERR von Jojakim, dem König von Juda: Er soll keinen [Nachkommen] haben, der auf dem Thron Davids sitzt. Sein Leichnam soll hinausgeworfen werden, sodass ihn bei Tag die Hitze und bei Nacht der Frost trifft. (Spr 15,10; Jer 22,18)31Und ich will seine Bosheit und die seiner Nachkommen und seiner Knechte an ihnen heimsuchen; und ich werde über sie, über die Bewohner von Jerusalem und über die Männer von Juda alles Unheil bringen, das ich ihnen angedroht habe, und von dem sie nichts hören wollten! (Ps 94,23; Spr 1,29; Spr 11,21; Spr 11,31; Jer 19,15; Hes 7,8)32Da nahm Jeremia eine andere Rolle und gab sie dem Schreiber Baruch, dem Sohn Nerijas; und er schrieb, wie Jeremia es ihm vorsagte, alle Worte hinein, die in dem Buch gestanden hatten, das Jojakim, der König von Juda, im Feuer verbrannt hatte; und es wurden noch viele andere Worte gleichen Inhalts hinzugefügt. (Hi 23,14; Jer 36,28)
Jeremia 36
King James Version
1And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,2Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.3It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.4Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.5And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD:6Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD' house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.7It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.8And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD' house.9And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.10Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD' house, in the ears of all the people.11When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,12Then he went down into the king' house, into the scribe' chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even 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 princes.13Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.14Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.15And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.16Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.17And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?18Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.19Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.20And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.21So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe' chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.22Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.23And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.24Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.25Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.26But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD hid them.27Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,28Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.29And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?30Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.31And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.32Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.
1In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord:2‘Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah and all the other nations from the time I began speaking to you in the reign of Josiah till now.3Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about every disaster I plan to inflict on them, they will each turn from their wicked ways; then I will forgive their wickedness and their sin.’4So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and while Jeremiah dictated all the words the Lord had spoken to him, Baruch wrote them on the scroll.5Then Jeremiah told Baruch, ‘I am restricted; I am not allowed to go to the Lord’s temple.6So you go to the house of the Lord on a day of fasting and read to the people from the scroll the words of the Lord that you wrote as I dictated. Read them to all the people of Judah who come in from their towns.7Perhaps they will bring their petition before the Lord and will each turn from their wicked ways, for the anger and wrath pronounced against this people by the Lord are great.’8Baruch son of Neriah did everything Jeremiah the prophet told him to do; at the Lord’s temple he read the words of the Lord from the scroll.9In the ninth month of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, a time of fasting before the Lord was proclaimed for all the people in Jerusalem and those who had come from the towns of Judah.10From the room of Gemariah son of Shaphan the secretary, which was in the upper courtyard at the entrance of the New Gate of the temple, Baruch read to all the people at the Lord’s temple the words of Jeremiah from the scroll.11When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll,12he went down to the secretary’s room in the royal palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Akbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.13After Micaiah told them everything he had heard Baruch read to the people from the scroll,14all the officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to say to Baruch, ‘Bring the scroll from which you have read to the people and come.’ So Baruch son of Neriah went to them with the scroll in his hand.15They said to him, ‘Sit down, please, and read it to us.’ So Baruch read it to them.16When they heard all these words, they looked at 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 come to write all this? Did Jeremiah dictate it?’18‘Yes,’ Baruch replied, ‘he dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.’19Then the officials said to Baruch, ‘You and Jeremiah, go and hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.’20After they put the scroll in the room of Elishama the secretary, they went to the king in the courtyard and reported everything to him.21The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and Jehudi brought it from the room of Elishama the secretary and read it to the king and all the officials standing beside him.22It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in the winter apartment, with a fire burning in the brazier in front of him.23Whenever Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll, the king cut them off with a scribe’s knife and threw them into the brazier, until the entire scroll was burned in the fire.24The king and all his attendants who heard all these words showed no fear, nor did they tear their clothes.25Even though Elnathan, Delaiah and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.26Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the Lord had hidden them.27After the king burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:28‘Take another scroll and write on it all the words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up.29Also tell Jehoiakim king of Judah, “This is what the Lord says: you burned that scroll and said, ‘Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon would certainly come and destroy this land and wipe from it both man and beast?’30Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: he will have no-one to sit on the throne of David; his body will be thrown out and exposed to the heat by day and the frost by night.31I will punish him and his children and his attendants for their wickedness; I will bring on them and those living in Jerusalem and the people of Judah every disaster I pronounced against them, because they have not listened.” ’32So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and as Jeremiah dictated, Baruch wrote on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
