Jeremiah 36:20-32

20So they went to the 1king in the court, but they had deposited the scroll in the chamber of 2Elishama the scribe, and they reported all the words to 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 3read it to the king as well as to all the officials who stood beside the king. 22Now the king was sitting in the 4winter house in the 5ninth month, with a fire burning in the brazier before him. 23When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with a scribe’s knife and 6threw it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. 24Yet the king and all his servants who heard all these words were 7not afraid, nor did they 8rend their garments. 25Even though Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah 9pleaded 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 10seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the 11Lord hid them.

27Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after the king had 12burned the scroll and the words which 13Baruch had written at the dictation of Jeremiah, saying, 28“14Take again another scroll and write on it all the former words that were 15on the first scroll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah burned. 29And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Thus says the Lord, “You have 16burned this scroll, saying, ‘17Why have you written on it 18that the 19king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will make man and beast to cease from it?’” 30Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah, “He shall have 20no one to sit on the throne of David, and his 21dead body shall be cast out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night. 31I will also 22punish him and his 23descendants and his servants for their iniquity, and I will 24bring on them and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the men of Judah all the calamity that I have declared to them--but they did not listen.”’”

32Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the son of Neriah, the scribe, and he 25wrote on it at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and many 26similar words were added to them.
