And the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But Jehovah hid them.

And I gave the document of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the eyes of Hanamel my uncle's son, and in the eyes of the witnesses who wrote in the purchase document, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.

But Baruch the son of Neriah is inciting you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death and to take us captive to Babylon.

And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How did you write all these words at his mouth?

Then Baruch answered them, He spoke all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote in it at the mouth of Jeremiah all the Words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many words like them were added to them.

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:

I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord.

So the king sent Jehudi to bring the scroll. And he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the rulers who stood beside the king.

And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that he cut it with the scribe's knife and threw it into the fire in the hearth, until all the scroll was burned up in the hearth.

Take for yourself another scroll, and write in it all the former Words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.

Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote in it at the mouth of Jeremiah all the Words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many words like them were added to them.

And Jehovah said to me, Take a large scroll and write in it with a man's pen: Maher- shalal-hash-baz. (which means, Hurry to the plunder! Make haste to the spoils!)

And when I looked, behold, there was a hand stretched out to me; and lo, a scroll of a book was in it.

And I again lifted up my eyes and looked, and, behold, a flying scroll.
