               Ierusalem.  10 Then read Baruch in the booke the  Delaiah, and Gemariah had besought the King,
               wordes of Ieremiah in the house of the Lord, in that he would not burne ye roule: but he would
               the chamber of Gemariah the sonne of Shaphan      not heare them.    26  But the King commanded
               the secretarie, in the hier court at the entrie of  Ierahmeel the sonne of Hammelech, and Seraiah
               the new gate of the Lordes house, in the hearing  the sonne of Azriel, and Shelemiah the sonne of
               of all the people.  11 When Michaiah the sonne of Abdiel, to take Baruch the scribe, and Ieremiah
               Gemariah, the sonne of Shaphan had heard out the Prophet, but the Lord hid them.       27 Then the

               hee went downe to the Kings house into the King had burnt the roule and the words which

               Shaphan, and Zedekiah the sonne of Hananiah,      29 And thou shalt say to Iehoiakim King of Iudah,
               and all the princes.  13  Then Michaiah declared  Thus saith the Lord, Thou hast burnt this roule,
               vnto them all the wordes that he had heard when   saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying,
               Baruch read in the booke in the audience of the
               people.  14  Therefore all the princes sent Iehudi  that the King of Babel shall certainly come and
               the sonne of Nethaniah, the sonne of Shelemiah,   destroye this land, and shall take thence both
               the sonne of Chushi, vnto Baruch, saying, Take in man and beast?  30 Therefore thus saith the Lord
               thine hande the roule, wherein thou hast read in  of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, Hee shall haue none

               the sonne of Neriah, tooke the roule in his hand, shall be cast out in the day to the heate, and in the
               and came vnto them.   15 And they saide vnto him, night to the frost.  31 And I will visite him and his

               So Baruch read it in their audience.  16 Now when will bring vpon them, and vpon the inhabitants
               they had heard all the wordes, they were afraid   of Ierusalem, and vpon the men of Iudah all the
               both one and other, and said vnto Baruch, We will  euil that I haue pronounced against them: but
               certifie the King of all these wordes.  17  And they  they would not heare.  32  Then tooke Ieremiah
               examined Baruch, saying, Tell vs nowe, howe       another roule, and gaue it Baruch the scribe

               thou and Ieremiah, and let no man knowe where
               ye be.  20  And they went in to the King to the
               court, but they layde vp the roule in the chamber                       37
               of Elishama the Chancellour and tolde the King
               all the wordes, that he might heare.   21  So the   1  And King Zedekiah the sonne of Iosiah
               King sent Iehudi to fet the roule, and he tooke it reigned for Coniah the sonne of Iehoiakim,
               out of Elishama the Chancellours chamber, and whome Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel made
               Iehudi read it in the audience of the King, and King in the land of Iudah.   2  But neither he, nor
               in the audience of all the princes, which stoode his seruants, nor the people of the land would
