1猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬執政第四年，耶和華對耶利米說：2「你拿一個卷軸來，把從約西亞登基直到現在我告訴你有關以色列、猶大和各國的事都寫在上面。3或許猶大人聽了我打算要降給他們的災禍，便改邪歸正，我就赦免他們的過犯和罪惡。」4耶利米就叫來尼利亞的兒子巴錄。巴錄按耶利米的口述把耶和華的話寫在卷軸上，5耶利米對他說：「我被囚禁，不能進入耶和華的殿，6所以你要在禁食的日子，在耶和華的殿中向猶大各城來的人宣讀卷軸上耶和華的話。7或許他們會改邪歸正，懇求耶和華赦罪，因為耶和華說要向他們發烈怒。」8尼利亞的兒子巴錄照耶利米先知的吩咐，在耶和華的殿中宣讀卷軸上耶和華的話。9猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬執政第五年九月，耶路撒冷和猶大各城的人都在耶和華面前宣告禁食。10巴錄來到耶和華殿新門入口處的上院，在沙番的兒子書記基瑪利雅的房間，向眾人宣讀耶利米寫在卷軸上的話。11沙番的孫子、基瑪利雅的兒子米該亞聽了卷軸上耶和華的話，12就下到王宮，進入書記的房間。房間內坐著所有官長，即書記以利沙瑪、示瑪雅的兒子第萊雅、亞革波的兒子以利拿單、沙番的兒子基瑪利雅和哈拿尼雅的兒子西底迦等人。13米該亞將巴錄向眾人宣讀的話都告訴了他們。14眾官長就派古示的曾孫、示利米雅的孫子、尼探雅的兒子猶底去請巴錄把當眾宣讀的卷軸拿來。巴錄拿著卷軸到他們那裡，15他們請他坐下，把卷軸讀給他們聽。巴錄就讀給他們聽。16他們聽後嚇得面面相覷，對巴錄說：「我們必須把這些話稟告王！17請告訴我們，你是怎麼寫下這些話的？是耶利米口授的嗎？」18巴錄說：「是耶利米口授、我記錄在卷軸上的。」19他們說：「你和耶利米都要藏起來，不可讓人知道你們在哪裡。」20他們把卷軸存放在書記以利沙瑪的房間，然後進宮把這件事稟告王。21王就派猶底去把卷軸取來，猶底便從書記以利沙瑪的房間取來卷軸，讀給王和侍立在王周圍的官長聽。22那時正是九月，王坐在冬宮，面前擺著一盆炭火。23王和臣僕聽了這些話，既不懼怕，也沒有撕裂衣服。猶底每讀三四段，王就用書記的小刀把那幾段割下來扔進火盆裡，直到全卷被燒毀。25雖然以利拿單、第萊雅和基瑪利雅懇求王不要把卷軸燒掉，王卻不聽，26還命令自己的兒子耶拉篾、亞斯列的兒子西萊雅和亞伯德的兒子示利米雅去拘捕書記巴錄和耶利米先知。但耶和華把他們藏了起來。27王把耶利米口述、巴錄記錄的卷軸燒掉後，耶和華對耶利米說：28「你再拿一卷軸，把猶大王約雅敬先前燒毀的卷軸上的話寫下來。29論到猶大王約雅敬，你要這樣寫，『耶和華說，你把卷軸燒掉，還說為什麼上面寫著巴比倫王必來毀滅這地方和其中的人畜。30所以耶和華說，猶大王約雅敬啊，你的子孫沒有一人能登大衛的寶座，你的屍體必被棄之荒野，遭受烈日的暴曬和夜霜的侵襲。31我要因你、你後裔和你臣僕的罪惡而懲罰你們。因為你們不聽我的警告，我要給你們以及耶路撒冷和猶大的居民降下我說過的災禍。』」32於是，耶利米又拿了一個卷軸，交給尼利亞的兒子書記巴錄，他按耶利米的口述，把猶大王約雅敬燒毀的那卷軸上的話都記下來，還增添了許多類似的話。

Jehoiakim Burns Jeremiah’s Scroll
1In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the 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 that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah and all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah until today.3It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the disaster that I intend to do to them, so that every one may turn from his evil way, and that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”4Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord that he had spoken to him.5And Jeremiah ordered Baruch, saying, “I am banned from going to the house of the Lord,6so you are to go, and on a day of fasting in the hearing of all the people in the Lord’s house you shall read the words of the Lord from the scroll that you have written at my dictation. You shall read them also in the hearing of all the men of Judah who come out of their cities.7It may be that their plea for mercy will come before the Lord, and that every one will turn from his evil way, for great is the anger and wrath that the Lord has pronounced against this people.”8And Baruch the son of Neriah did all that Jeremiah the prophet ordered him about reading from the scroll the words of the Lord in the Lord’s house.9In the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem proclaimed a fast before the Lord.10Then, in the hearing of all the people, Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the scroll, in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the secretary, which was in the upper court, at the entry of the New Gate of the Lord’s house.11When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll,12he went down to the king’s house, into the secretary’s chamber, and all the officials were sitting there: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the officials.13And Micaiah told them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the scroll in the hearing of the people.14Then all the officials sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, to say to Baruch, “Take in your hand the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them.15And they said to him, “Sit down and read it.” So Baruch read it to them.16When they heard all the words, they turned one to another in fear. And they said to Baruch, “We must report all these words to the king.”17Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, please, how did you write all these words? Was it at his dictation?”18Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me, while I wrote them with ink on the scroll.”19Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are.”20So they went into the court to the king, having put the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the secretary, and they reported all the words to the king.21Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the secretary. And Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who stood beside the king.22It was the ninth month, and the king was sitting in the winter house, and there was a fire burning in the fire pot before him.23As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot.24Yet neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words was afraid, nor did they tear their garments.25Even when Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.26And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son and Seraiah the son of Azriel and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the secretary and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord hid them.27Now after the king had burned the scroll with the words that Baruch wrote at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:28“Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.29And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Thus says the Lord, You have burned this scroll, saying, “Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cut off from it man and beast?”30Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day and the frost by night.31And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and upon the people of Judah all the disaster that I have pronounced against them, but they would not hear.’”32Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote on it at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
