12 When Baruch finished reading, Micaiah went down to the palace. His father Gemariah was in the officials' room, meeting with the rest of the king's officials, including Elishama, Delaiah, Elnathan, and Zedekiah.
13 Micaiah told them what he had heard Baruch reading to the people.
14 Then the officials sent Jehudi and Shelemiah to tell Baruch, “Bring us that scroll.”When Baruch arrived with the scroll,
15 the officials said, “Please sit down and read it to us,” which he did.
16 After they heard what was written on the scroll, they were worried and said to each other, “The king needs to hear this!” Turning to Baruch, they asked,
17 “Did someone tell you what to write on this scroll?”
18 “Yes, Jeremiah did,” Baruch replied. “I wrote down just what he told me.”
