1So, it was the fourth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah, and God slid into Jeremiah's DMs with a word, like, "Yo."

2God said, "Grab a scroll and write down all the tea I spilled about Israel, Judah, and all the nations since Josiah's days, no cap."

3Judah might catch the vibes of the bad stuff I’m planning to do; maybe they'll turn from their sus ways, and I’ll forgive their mess-ups, fr.

4Jeremiah hit up Baruch, son of Neriah, and Baruch jotted down all the words from God that Jeremiah dropped, on a scroll, lit.

5Jeremiah was like, "I’m locked up; can’t roll into the Lord’s house right now."

6So, you gotta go read that scroll with God’s words to the people at the Lord's crib on fasting day; also share it with all of Judah coming from their spots.

7Maybe they'll bring their requests to God and ditch their shady ways, 'cause the Lord’s mad vibes are serious against this crew.

8Baruch, son of Neriah, did what Jeremiah told him and read the Lord's words in the Lord's house, periodt.

9In the fifth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, they called a fast for everyone in Jerusalem and all the peeps from Judah's cities.

10Then Baruch read Jeremiah's words in the Lord's house, in Gemariah's chamber, the scribe, in the higher court, by the new gate, for all the people to hear.

11So Michaiah, son of Gemariah, heard all the Lord's words from the book, and it was a whole vibe.

12He pulled up to the king's crib, went to the scribe's room, and all the big shots were chilling there, like Elishama the scribe and the crew.

13Michaiah spilled all the tea on what he heard when Baruch read the book to the peeps.

14The princes were like, "Yo, send Jehudi, son of Nethaniah, to Baruch. Tell him to bring that scroll he read to everyone." Baruch grabbed the roll and bounced over.

15They told him, "Pull up and read it to us." So Baruch read it loud and clear.

16Once they heard all the words, they were shook and said to Baruch, "We gotta tell the king about this, no cap."

17They asked Baruch, "For real, how did you write all this down?"

18Baruch was like, "He said all these words to me, and I just wrote them down with ink in the book."

19The princes told Baruch, "Skrrt, go hide with Jeremiah, and keep it lowkey where you are."

20They went to the king's court, but stashed the roll in Elishama's room and spilled all the words to the king.

21So the king sent Jehudi to grab the scroll from Elishama's crib. Jehudi read it out loud for the king and all the homies chillin' with him.

22The king was vibing in his winter pad in the ninth month, and there was a fire crackin' on the hearth, keeping it lit.

23When Jehudi got to like three or four pages, he straight-up sliced it with a penknife and tossed it into the fire, until the whole scroll was toast.

24But they weren't even shook, not the king or any of his crew who heard all this. No cap.

25Still, Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah were out here begging the king not to burn the scroll, but he just wasn’t having it.

26The king told Jerahmeel, Seraiah, and Shelemiah to grab Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord was like, "Nah, we hiding."

27Then the Lord hit up Jeremiah after the king burned the scroll and all the words Baruch wrote, saying,

28"Get another scroll and write down all the previous words from the first one that Jehoiakim burned."

29"Tell Jehoiakim, king of Judah, that the Lord says: You burned this scroll, asking why it said Babylon's coming to wreck this land and wipe out everyone and everything."

30"So the Lord says about Jehoiakim, king of Judah: No one’s gonna sit on David's throne after you, and your body’s gonna be tossed out in the heat by day and the frost by night."

31I'ma come for him, his fam, and his crew for all their sus moves; gonna hit up Jerusalem and the dudes in Judah with all the bad vibes I called out, but they just ignored it, no cap.

32Then Jeremiah pulled another scroll and handed it to Baruch, the scribe dude, son of Neriah; he wrote down all the words from Jeremiah, including the ones that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, straight-up burned: and they added even more fire words, periodt.

1And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

2Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.

3It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

4Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.

5And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the Lord:

6Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord in the ears of the people in the Lord’s house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.

7It may be they will present their supplication before the Lord, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the Lord hath pronounced against this people.

8And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord’s house.

9And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.

10Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah 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.

11When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord,

12Then he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

13Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

14Therefore 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.

15And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.

16Now 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.

17And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?

18Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

19Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.

20And 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.

21So 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.

22Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.

23And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.

24Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

25Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.

26But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord hid them.

27Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

28Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.

29And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?

30Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

31And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.

32Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.
