Jehoiakim Burns Jeremiah’s Scroll

¹⁹ Then the officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah, go and hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.”

²⁰ After they put the scroll in the room of Elishama the secretary, they went to the king in the courtyard and reported everything to him. ²¹ The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and Jehudi brought it from the room of Elishama the secretary and read it to the king and all the officials standing beside him.

بارُوک ہَیکل میں طُومار پڑھتا ہے

19تب اُمرا نے بارُوؔک سے کہا کہ جا اپنے آپ کو اور یَرمِیاؔہ کو چُھپا اور کوئی نہ جانے کہ تُم کہاں ہو۔

بادشاہ طُومار جلا دیتا ہے

20اور وہ بادشاہ کے پاس صحن میں گئے لیکن اُس طُومار کو الِیسمع مُنشی کی کوٹھری میں رکھ گئے اور وہ باتیں بادشاہ کو کہہ سُنائِیں۔ 21تب بادشاہ نے یہُودؔی کو بھیجا کہ طُومار لائے اور وہ اُسے الِیسمع مُنشی کی کوٹھری میں سے لے آیا اور یہُودؔی نے بادشاہ اور سب اُمرا کو جو بادشاہ کے حضُور کھڑے تھے اُسے پڑھ کر سُنایا۔

My point of view about above verses

God said to Jeremiah take a scroll and write on it all the words concerning Israel and Judah I have spoken with you time to time- perhaps when they hear about infliction I am bringing on them – turn back from their wicked ways then I will forgive them

Jeremiah dictated the word of God to Baruch to be wriiten and told him to go to temple and read it to people on the day of fasting so that they may hear and repent and God forgive them

Baruch went to God's house and read to people the word of God on the day of fasting as dictated by Jeremiah 

All officials interested to listen God's word dictated by Jeremiah and thought they have to inform king - King tell them to read scroll 

 May God give us wisdom to understand Him through His Word as He speaks with us through this word and prophets - and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
