Jeremiah 36:21-25
21Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. He took the scroll from the side room of the scribe Elishama. Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials standing by the king.
22It was the ninth month, and the king was in his winter house sitting in front of the fire in the fireplace.
23As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a scribe’s knife and throw them into the fire in the fireplace. He did this until the whole scroll was burned up.
24The king and all his attendants didn’t show any fear or tear their clothes in fear when they heard everything being read.
25Even when Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he refused to listen to them.
