1In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
“It came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,”
2"Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah, and all the nations, from the day I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah until today.
“Take 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.”
“Take 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 that I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah even unto this…”
“Take 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 speak unto thee, from the day of Josiah even to this day,”
“take thee a scroll of a book and write therein all of 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 until this day.”
3Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the calamity I plan to bring upon them, each of them will turn from his wicked way. Then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin."
“it may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purposed to do unto them, that they may return every man from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
“it may be that the house of judah may 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.”
“it 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 sin.”
“It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil that 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.”
4So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and at the dictation of Jeremiah, Baruch wrote on a scroll all the words that the LORD had spoken to Jeremiah.
“Then Jeremiah called Baruch, the son of Jeriah, 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.”
“Then Jeremiah called Baruch, who was 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 the scroll of a book.”
“Then Jeremiah called Barak, the son of Neriah. And Barak wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord which he had spoken unto him upon the roll of a book.”
5Then Jeremiah commanded Baruch, "I am restricted; I cannot enter the house of the LORD;
“And jeremiah commanded baruch saying I am shut up. I cannot go into the house of the lord.”
6so you are to go to the house of the LORD on a day of fasting, and in the hearing of the people you are to read the words of the LORD from the scroll you have written at my dictation. Read them in the hearing of all the people of Judah who are coming from their cities.
“Therefore 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's house upon the fasting day, and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that…”
“Therefore, go thou and read in the roll, which you have written from my mouth, the words of the Lord in the ears of the people in the Lord's house upon the fasting day. And also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that…”
7Perhaps they will bring their petition before the LORD, and each one will turn from his wicked way; for great are the anger and fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people."
“It may be they will present their supplication before the Lord and they will return every man from his evil way. For great is the anger and the fury that the Lord hath pronounced against this people.”
8So Baruch son of Neriah did everything that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him. In the house of the LORD he read the words of the LORD from the scroll.

9Now in the ninth month of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, a fast before the LORD was proclaimed to all the people of Jerusalem and all who had come there from the cities of Judah.
“And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, in the ninth month that they proclaimed to fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem and to all the people that came from the…”
“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 all the people that came in the cities of Judah…”
10From the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, which was in the upper courtyard at the opening of the New Gate of the house of the LORD, Baruch read from the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the hearing of all the people.
“Then Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord in the chamber of Gamariah, the son of Shaphan, the scribe, and in the higher court at the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house in the ears of all…”
11When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll,
“when Micaiah, the son of Jemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all of the words of the Lord,”
12he went down to the scribe's chamber in the king's palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.

13And Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people.
“Micaiah declared unto them all of the words that he had heard when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.”
14Then all the officials sent word to Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, saying, "Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come here." So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them.
“Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi, the son of Nehemiah, the son of Shalamiah, the son of Cushi, unto Barak, saying, Take in mine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Barak the son of…”
15"Please sit down," they said, "and read it in our hearing." So Baruch read it in their hearing.
“And so they said unto him, sit down now and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.”
“And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read in our ears, so Barak read it in their ears.”
16When they had heard all these words, they turned to one another in fear and said to Baruch, "Surely we must report all these words to the king."
“Now it came to pass when they heard all the words that they were afraid, both one and the other, and said unto Barak, We will surely tell the king of all these words.”
17"Tell us now," they asked Baruch, "how did you write all these words? Was it at Jeremiah's dictation?"
“And they asked Baruch saying, tell us now, how did you write all of these words at his”
18"It was at his dictation," Baruch replied. "He recited all these words to me and I wrote them in ink on the scroll."

22Since it was the ninth month, the king was sitting in his winter quarters with a fire burning before him.
“Now the king sat in the winter house in the ninth month, and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him,”
23And as soon as Jehudi had read three or four columns, Jehoiakim would cut them off with a scribe's knife and throw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll had been consumed by the fire.
“and it came to pass that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, or columns, he cut it, that's the roll, 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…”
24Yet in hearing all these words, the king and his servants did not become frightened or tear their garments.
“Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king nor any of his servants that heard all these words.”
“yet they were not afraid, nor did they tear their garments, neither the king nor any of his servants that heard all of these words.”
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, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the LORD had hidden them.
“But the king commanded Jeramiel, the son of Hamalek, and Zerariah, the son of Azrael, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord hid them.”
27After the king had burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah's dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
“Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. After that, the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah,”
28"Take another scroll and rewrite on it the very words that were on the original scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned.

29You are to proclaim concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah that this is what the LORD says: You have burned the scroll and said, 'Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon would surely come and destroy this land and deprive it of man and beast?'
“And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, Thus saith the Lord, You have burned this scroll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause…”
30Therefore this is what the LORD says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David's throne, and his body will be thrown out and exposed to heat by day and frost by night.
“Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jehoiakim, or Jocanias, the 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.”
“therefore 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 of the heat and in the night to the frost.”
“Thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah he shall have no one to sit on the throne of David and His dead body shall be cast out to the deed of the day in the frost of the night.”
31I will punish him and his descendants and servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the calamity about which I warned them but they did not listen."
“And 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…”
“And 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 all the men of Judah all the evil that I pronounced against them, but they…”
“I will punish him his family and his servants for their iniquity. Now we'll bring on them on the inhabitants of Jerusalem and on the men of Judah all the doom that I have pronounced against them. But they did not heed.”
32Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and at Jeremiah's dictation he 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.
