10 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemari´ah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house, in the ears of all the people.
11 When Michai´ah the son of Gemari´ah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord,
12 then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elish´ama the scribe, and Delai´ah the son of Shemai´ah, and Elna´than the son of Achbor, and Gemari´ah the son of Shaphan, and Zedeki´ah the son of Hanani´ah, and all the princes.
13 Then Michai´ah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehu´di the son of Nethani´ah, the son of Shelemi´ah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neri´ah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.
15 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.
16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
