19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.
19 Then the officials said to Baruch, "You and Jeremiah, go and hide. Don't let anyone know where you are."
19 Then the officials said to Baruch, "Go and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are."
19 The government officials told Baruch, "You need to get out of here. Go into hiding, you and Jeremiah. Don't let anyone know where you are!"
19 Then the princes said to Baruch, "Go and hide, you and Jeremiah; and let no one know where you are."
19 "You and Jeremiah should both hide," the officials told Baruch. "Don't tell anyone where you are!"

Shows of piety and devotion may be found even among those, who, though they keep up forms of godliness, are strangers and enemies to the power of it. The princes patiently attended the reading of the whole book. They were in great fear. But even those who are convinced to the truth and importance of what they hear, and are disposed to favour those who preach it, often have difficulties and reserves about their safety, interest, or preferment, so that they do not act according to their convictions, and try to get rid of what they find troublesome.
