1No quarto ano do reinado de Joaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, o SENHOR transmitiu esta mensagem a Jeremias:2“Arranja um rolo para escrever e regista todas as mensagens que tenho dado contra Israel, Judá e as outras nações. Começa com a primeira mensagem, ainda nos tempos de Josias, e escreve todas elas.3Talvez, quando o povo de Judá vir escritas todas as coisas terríveis que lhes farei, se arrependam. Nessa altura, perdoar-lhes-ei.”4Por isso, Jeremias mandou chamar Baruque, filho de Nerias e fê-lo escrever todas as profecias.5Depois de acabar, Jeremias disse a Baruque: “Visto que estou aqui como prisioneiro e já não tenho autorização para ir ao templo do SENHOR,6lê tu este rolo, no próximo dia de jejum, porque nesse dia haverá uma grande assembleia com o povo que há de vir de todas as partes de Judá.7Talvez a sua súplica chegue diante do SENHOR, e renunciem aos seus maus caminhos; porque grande é a ira e a fúria que o SENHOR tem manifestado contra este povo.”8Baruque fez como Jeremias lhe tinha dito e leu todas aquelas mensagens ao povo no templo.9Isso ocorreu no dia de jejum que teve lugar no nono mês*, no quinto ano do reinado de Joaquim, filho de Josias, no dia em que veio povo de toda a parte de Judá para assistir no templo às celebrações especiais desse dia.10Baruque foi igualmente à sala de trabalho de Gemarias, o secretário, filho de Safã, para lhe ler o rolo. Essa sala ficava mesmo ao lado da entrada que dava para o átrio superior, junto à porta nova.11Quando Micaías, filho de Gemarias e neto de Safã, ouviu aquelas mensagens do SENHOR,12desceu ao palácio, à câmara de conferências, onde estavam reunidos os chefes da administração pública, entre os quais Elisama, o secretário, Delaías, filho de Semaías, Elnatã, filho de Acbor, Gemarias, filho de Safã, Zedequias, filho de Hananias, assim como todos os que tinham responsabilidades similares.13Quando Micaías os pôs ao corrente das mensagens que Baruque tinha lido ao povo,14aqueles administradores enviaram Jeudi, filho de Netanias, filho de Selemias, filho de Cuchi, para que pedisse a Baruque, filho de Neria, para lhes vir ler também essas mensagens, e Baruque aceitou.15Então disseram-lhe: “Senta-te e lê-nos esse rolo!” E Baruque leu-o diante de todos.16Quando terminou a leitura, estavam extremamente aterrorizados. “Temos de contar ao rei!”, disseram eles.17“Mas primeiro diz-nos como foi que obtiveste estas mensagens. Foi mesmo Jeremias quem as ditou a ti próprio?”18Então Baruque explicou-lhes que fora Jeremias quem lhe ditara tudo, palavra por palavra, e que ele, Baruque, as escrevera com tinta no rolo.19“Vocês, tu e Jeremias, têm de se esconder!”, disseram os administradores a Baruque. “E não digam a ninguém onde estão!”20Aqueles magistrados esconderam o rolo nos aposentos de Elisama, o secretário, e foram contar tudo ao rei.21Este mandou Jeudi ir buscar o rolo. Jeudi trouxe-o das dependências de Elisama e leu-o ao rei, na presença de todos os altos magistrados.22Encontravam-se na parte do palácio que o rei usava durante o inverno. Havia um grande braseiro, diante do qual o rei estava sentado, porque era o nono mês e fazia frio.23Depois de Jeudi ter lido umas três ou quatro colunas, o rei pegou numa faca e começou a rasgar o rolo; depois lançou-o no fogo e o rolo ficou todo queimado.24Porém nem o rei nem os seus oficiais, que ouviram tudo isto, tiveram medo nem rasgaram as suas vestes em sinal de arrependimento. Ninguém abriu a boca em protesto,25à exceção de Elnatã, Delaías e Gemarias. Estes ainda pediram ao rei para não o queimar, mas ele não quis ouvi-los.26Depois o rei mandou Jerameel, membro da família real, Seraías, filho de Azriel, e Selemias, filho de Abdeel, prender Baruque e Jeremias. Mas o SENHOR escondeu-os.27Depois do rei ter queimado o rolo que continha as palavras que Jeremias tinha ditado a Baruque, o SENHOR disse a Jeremias:28“Arranja outro rolo! Escreve nele todas as palavras que estavam registadas no primeiro livro que Joaquim, o rei de Judá, queimou.29E diz ao rei: ‘Assim diz o SENHOR: tu queimaste o rolo, porque dizia que o rei da Babilónia iria destruir esta nação e matar os seus habitantes e animais.30Pois agora, o SENHOR acrescenta ainda, a respeito de ti, Joaquim, rei de Judá:31Não terás quem te suceda no trono de David! O teu cadáver será exposto à torreira do Sol, às geadas das noites! Castigar-te-ei, a ti e à tua família, e administradores, por causa dos teus pecados. Derramarei todo o mal que prometi, sobre vocês e sobre todo o povo de Judá e Jerusalém, pois não querem prestar atenção aos meus avisos!’ ”32Então Jeremias arranjou outro rolo e tornou a ditar a Baruque tudo o que tinha sido escrito antes. Só que desta vez Deus fê-lo acrescentar muitas outras palavras semelhantes.

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.
