Jeremiah 36:21-25
21Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi 1read it to the king as well as to all the officials who stood beside the king.
22Now the king was sitting in the 2winter house in the 3ninth 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 4threw 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 5not afraid, nor did they 6rend their garments.
25Even though Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah 7pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
