Jeremiah 36:21-25

21So the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 to fetch the roll; and he tookH3947 it out of the chamber of ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608. And JehudiH3065 readH7121 it in the earsH241 of the kingH4428, and in the earsH241 of all the princesH8269 that stoodH5975 beside the kingH4428. 22Now the kingH4428 was sittingH3427 in the winter-house in the ninthH8671 monthH2320: and there was a fire in the brazier burningH1197 before him. 23And it came to pass, when JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 leaves, that the king cut it with the penknife, and castH7993 it into the fireH784 that wasH1961 in the brazier, until all the roll wasH1961 consumed in the fireH784 that wasH1961 in the brazier. 24And they were not afraidH6342, nor rent their garmentsH899, neither the kingH4428, nor any of his servantsH5650 that heardH8085 all these wordsH1697. 25Moreover ElnathanH494 and DelaiahH1806 and GemariahH1587 had madeH8085 intercession to the kingH4428 that he would not burnH8313 the roll; but he would not hearH8085 them.
