Jehoiakim Burns Jeremiah’s Scroll

1 In the ^wfourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Take a scroll and ^xwrite 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, ^yfrom the days of Josiah until today. 3 ^zIt 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, ^aand that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”

4 Then Jeremiah called ^bBaruch the son of Neriah, and Baruch ^cwrote on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord that he had spoken to him.

32 Then 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.
