27 After the king had burnt the scroll with the messages on it that Yirmiyah (Jeremiah) had dictated to Baruk, Yahweh gave this message to Yirmiyah: 28 Get yourself another scroll and write down all the messages that were on the original scroll that Yehudah’s (Judah’s) King Yehoyakim burnt. 29 Then you must tell the king that Yahweh says: You burnt that scroll, asking why it was written that the Babylonian king would come and destroy this land and leave it without people or animals. 30 Now Yahweh says about King Yehoyakim: No descendant of his will ever sit on David’s throne. As for him, his corpse will be thrown out into the heat of the day and the frost at night. 31 I’ll punish him, his descendants, and his servants for their wickedness. The disasters that I’ve threatened them with, but which they ignored, I’ll send onto them and all Yerushalem’s (Jerusalem’s) inhabitants, and onto every person in the rest of Yehudah.

32 So Yirmiyah got another scroll and gave it to Baruk, son of Neriyah the scribe. Yirmiyah again dictated all the messages that had been on the scroll burnt by Yehudah’s King Yehoyakim, and Baruk wrote them onto the scroll, along with several other similar messages.
