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

Context

13And Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people. 14Then all the officials sent word to Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, saying, “Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come here.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them. 15“Please sit down,” they said, “and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing. 16When 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.” 17“Tell us now,” they asked Baruch, “how did you write all these words? Was it at Jeremiah’s dictation?”
