15 They said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our ears.”So Baruch read it in their ears.
16 When they heard all the words, they turned to one another in fear and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.”
17 They also asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words? Was it at his mouth?”
18 Then Baruch answered them, “He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
19 Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no man know where you are.”
20 Then they went to the king in the court, but they laid up the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the scroll, and he took it out of Elishama the scribe’s chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king and in the ears of all the officials who stood beside the king.
