The Lord told me, “Get a large scroll {\cf2\super [93]} and use a pen {\cf2\super [94]} to write these words: ‘This is for Maher Shalal Hash Baz.’ (This means ‘There will soon be looting and stealing.’)”
I have said many bad things will happen to Babylon. All of those things will happen. Jeremiah preached about those foreign nations. And all of those warnings are written in this book.
The Lord, the God of the people of Israel, said: “Jeremiah, write in a book the words I have spoken to you. Write this book for yourself.
and I gave them to Baruch. Baruch was the son of Neriah. Neriah was the son of Mahseiah. The sealed copy of the deed had all the terms and conditions of my purchase. I gave this deed to Baruch while my cousin Hanamel and the other witnesses were there. Those witnesses also signed the deed. There were also many people of Judah sitting in the courtyard that saw me give the deed to Baruch.
Then all those officials sent a man named Jehudi to Baruch. Jehudi was the son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah. Shelemiah was the son of Cushi. Jehudi said to Baruch, “Bring the scroll {\cf2\super [307]} that you read from and come with me.”
So King Jehoiakim sent Jehudi to get the scroll. {\cf2\super [311]} Jehudi brought the scroll from the room of Elishama the scribe. Then Jehudi read the scroll to the king and all of the servants that stood around the king.
Jehudi began to read from the scroll. But whenever he would read two or three columns, King Jehoiakim would grab the scroll. Then he would cut those columns off of the scroll with a small knife and throw them into the fireplace. Finally, the whole scroll was burned in the fire.
And King Jehoiakim commanded some men to arrest Baruch the scribe {\cf2\super [314]} and Jeremiah the prophet. Those men were Jerahmeel, a son of the king, Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel. But those men could not find Baruch and Jeremiah, because the Lord had hidden them.
The message from the Lord came to Jeremiah. This happened after King Jehoiakim burned the scroll {\cf2\super [315]} that had contained all the messages from the Lord. Jeremiah had spoken to Baruch, and Baruch had written the messages on the scroll. This was the message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah:
“Jeremiah, get another scroll. {\cf2\super [316]} Write all the messages on it that were on the first scroll. That is the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned.
Then Jeremiah took another scroll {\cf2\super [318]} and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah, the scribe. {\cf2\super [319]} As Jeremiah spoke, Baruch wrote on the scroll the same messages that were on the scroll that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. And many other words like those messages were added to the second scroll.
So I want you to go to the temple of the Lord. Go there on a day of fasting {\cf2\super [302]} and read to the people from the scroll. Read to the people the messages from the Lord that you wrote on the scroll as I spoke them to you. Read those messages to all the people of Judah that come into Jerusalem from the towns where they live.
Jeremiah, we think that Baruch son of Neriah is encouraging you to be against us. He wants you to give us to the Babylonian people. He wants you to do this so they can kill us. Or he wants you to do this so that they can make us captives {\cf2\super [347]} and carry us to Babylon.”
This is the message that Jeremiah gave to the officer Seraiah. {\cf2\super [429]} Seraiah was the son of Neriah. Neriah was the son of Mahseiah. Seraiah went to Babylon with Zedekiah king of Judah. This happened in the fourth year that Zedekiah was king of Judah. {\cf2\super [430]} At that time, Jeremiah gave this message to Seraiah, the officer.
