15. And they said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.
16. Now it came to pass when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and another, and said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
17. And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
18. Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
19. Then said the princes to Baruch, Go, hide thyself, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye are.
