17. And they asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words—at his instruction?”
18. So Baruch answered them, “He proclaimed with his mouth all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
19. Then the princes said to Baruch, “Go and hide, you and Jeremiah; and let no one know where you are.”
20. And they went to the king, into the court; but they stored the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the hearing of the king.
