13. Then Michaiah 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 Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, 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 Neriah 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.
17. And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
18. Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
19. Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.
20. And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll 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 roll: 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 princes which stood beside the king.
