Jeremiah 21-36: A Translation 39- The Scroll Is Rewritten (36:27-32)
36 27 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah after the king burned the roll,
that is, the words that Baruch wrote from the dictation of Jeremiah:^28 0nce
again, take for yourself another roll and write on it all the former words that
were contained on the first roll, which Jehoiakim, king of Judah, burned.
(^29) And concerning Jehoiakim, king of Judah, you shall say, Thus said
Yahweh:
You, you have burned this roll, saying, 'Why have you written on it "The
king of Babylon will surely come and destroy this land and make to cease
from it human and beast"?'
(^30) Therefore, thus said Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim, king of Judah:
He shall not have one to sit upon the throne of David, and his dead body
shall be thrown out to the heat by day and the frost by night.^31 And I will
reckon upon him and upon his offspring and upon his servants their iniq-
uity; and I will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem
and to the men of Judah all the evil that I spoke to them, but they did not
listen.
(^32) So Jeremiah took another roll and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah, the scribe,
and he wrote upon it from the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll
that Jehoiakim, king of Judah, burned in the fire. And besides, many words like
these were added to them.
