18 And Baruch saith to them, `From his mouth, he pronounceth unto me all these words, and I am writing on the book with ink.`
19 And the heads say unto Baruch, `Go, be hidden, thou and Jeremiah, and let no one know where ye [are].`
20 And they go in unto the king, to the court, and the roll they have laid up in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and they declare in the ears of the king all the words.
21 And the king sendeth Jehudi to take the roll, and he taketh it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and Jehudi readeth it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the heads who are standing by the king;
22 and the king is sitting in the winter-house, in the ninth month, and the stove before him is burning,
23 and it cometh to pass, when Jehudi readeth three or four leaves, he cutteth it out with the scribe`s knife, and hath cast unto the fire, that [is] on the stove, till the consumption of all the roll by the fire that [is] on the stove.
24 And the king and all his servants who are hearing all these words have not been afraid, nor rent their garments.
