猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬執政第四年，耶和華對耶利米說：

我當著堂兄弟哈拿篾、證人和護衛兵院子裡所有猶大人的面，把地契交給瑪西雅的孫子、尼利亞的兒子巴錄。

耶利米就叫來尼利亞的兒子巴錄。巴錄按耶利米的口述把耶和華的話寫在卷軸上，

於是，耶利米又拿了一個卷軸，交給尼利亞的兒子書記巴錄，他按耶利米的口述，把猶大王約雅敬燒毀的那卷軸上的話都記下來，還增添了許多類似的話。

我把地契交給尼利亞的兒子巴錄之後，便向耶和華禱告說：

猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬執政第四年，即巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒元年，耶和華告訴了耶利米有關猶大百姓的事。

約雅敬二十五歲登基，在耶路撒冷執政十一年。他做他的上帝耶和華視為惡的事。

猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬執政初期，耶和華對耶利米說：

尼利亞的兒子巴錄照耶利米先知的吩咐，在耶和華的殿中宣讀卷軸上耶和華的話。猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬執政第五年九月，耶路撒冷和猶大各城的人都在耶和華面前宣告禁食。

眾官長就派古示的曾孫、示利米雅的孫子、尼探雅的兒子猶底去請巴錄把當眾宣讀的卷軸拿來。巴錄拿著卷軸到他們那裡，他們請他坐下，把卷軸讀給他們聽。巴錄就讀給他們聽。他們聽後嚇得面面相覷，對巴錄說：「我們必須把這些話稟告王！請告訴我們，你是怎麼寫下這些話的？是耶利米口授的嗎？」巴錄說：「是耶利米口授、我記錄在卷軸上的。」

還命令自己的兒子耶拉篾、亞斯列的兒子西萊雅和亞伯德的兒子示利米雅去拘捕書記巴錄和耶利米先知。但耶和華把他們藏了起來。

是尼利亞的兒子巴錄慫恿你反對我們，好叫我們落在迦勒底人手中，任由他們宰殺或擄到巴比倫。」於是，加利亞的兒子約哈難和眾將領及民眾都不聽從耶和華讓他們留在猶大的命令。加利亞的兒子約哈難和眾將領率領民眾下到埃及的答比匿。民眾中有流亡到各國又返回猶大的餘民和護衛長尼布撒拉旦留給沙番的孫子、亞希甘的兒子基大利管理的男女婦孺、公主以及耶利米先知和尼利亞的兒子巴錄。他們沒有聽從耶和華的命令。
