16. And when they had heard all the words, they looked upon one another with astonishment, and they said to Baruch: We must tell the king all these words.
17. And they asked him, saying: Tell us how didst thou write all these words from his mouth.
18. And Baruch said to them: With his mouth he pronounced all these words as if he were reading to me: and I wrote in a volume with ink.
19. And the princes said to Baruch: Go, and hide thee, both thou and Jeremias, and let no man know where you are.
20. And they went in to the king into the court: but they laid up the volume in the chamber of Elisama the scribe: and they told all the words in the hearing of the king.
21. And the king sent Judi that he should take the volume: who bringing it out of the chamber of Elisama the scribe, read it in the hearing of the king, and of all the princes that stood about the king.
