Jeremiah 36:20-26
The Scroll Is Burned
20So they went to the aking in the court, but they had deposited the scroll in the chamber of bElishama the scribe, and they declared all the words in the hearing of the king. 21Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi aread it in the hearing of the king as well as in the hearing of all the officials who stood beside the king. 22Now the king was sitting in the awinter house in the bninth month, with a fire burning in the brazier before him. 23And it happened that when Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with a scribe’s knife and athrew it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll 1was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. 24Yet the king and all his servants who heard all these words were anot in dread, nor did they btear their garments. 25Even though Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah ainterceded with the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. 26And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to atake Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but bYahweh hid them.
