From Jeremiah

Jeremiah 1:1

The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

Jeremiah, son of Hilkiah, a priest from Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin, spoke these words with deep emotion and conviction:

Jeremiah 18:17

I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

I will disperse them like a gust of wind before their foes; I will turn my back on them, not showing my face, during their times of trouble.

Jeremiah 33:3

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Reach out to me, and I'll respond, revealing profound and incredible things you've never imagined.

Jeremiah 36:14

Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.

So, all the leaders called upon Jehudi, a man of many generations, to approach Baruch. They said, "Hold the scroll you've read to the people and join us." And so, Baruch, son of Neriah, took the scroll and went to them.
