Jeremiah 36:17

Baruch

15 “Please sit down,” they said, “and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.

16 When they had heard all these words, they turned to one another in fear and said to Baruch, “Surely we must report all these words to the king.”

“Tell us now,” they asked Baruch, “how did you write all these words? Was it at Jeremiah’s dictation?”

18 “It was at his dictation,” Baruch replied. “He recited all these words to me and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.”

19 Then the officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must hide yourselves and tell no one where you are.”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
