7 When Jeremiah learnt what they had done, he reprimanded them, saying, ‘No one must know about this place until God gathers his people together again and shows them mercy.
8 At that time he will reveal where these things are hidden, and the dazzling light of his presence will be seen in the cloud, as it was in the time of Moses and on the occasion when Solomon prayed that the Temple might be dedicated in holy splendour.’
9 “We are also told how the wise King Solomon offered a sacrifice of dedication at the completion of the Temple,
10 and that when he prayed, fire came down from heaven and consumed the sacrifices, just as it had done earlier when Moses prayed.
11 Moses had explained that the sin offering was consumed by fire because it was not eaten.
12 Solomon celebrated the festival for eight days.
13 “These same facts are found in the royal records and in the memoirs of Nehemiah, who established a library and collected the writings of David, letters of the kings concerning offerings, and books about the kings and prophets.
