And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.

The verse 15 is found in chapter 36 of Jeremiah. The officials hear the scroll and eventually bring it to the king. Jehoiakim cuts the columns of the document and burns them, but the physical destruction of the scroll does not destroy the word. The scene demonstrates the difference between political authority and divine authority: the king can burn a manuscript, but he cannot cancel the message it contains.

Und sie sprachen zu ihm: Setze dich und lies, daß wir es hören! Und Baruch las ihnen vor ihren Ohren.
Y dijéronle: Siéntate ahora, y léelo en nuestros oídos. Y leyó Baruch en sus oídos.
Le dijeron: «Siéntate, por favor, y léenoslo». Y Baruc se lo leyó.
Ils lui dirent: Assieds-toi, et lis-le à nos oreilles. Et Baruc lut à leurs oreilles.
Ed essi gli dissero: Deh! siedi, e leggicelo. E Baruc lo lesse loro.
E disseram-lhe: Assenta-te agora, e lê-o aos nossos ouvidos. E leu Baruque aos ouvidos deles.
他們對他說:「請坐下,念給我們親耳聽。」 巴錄 就念給他們親耳聽。
