Jeremiah 36:21-25
21Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 to getH3947 the scrollH4039, and he tookH3947 it out of the chamberH3957 of ElishamaH476 the scribeH5613. And JehudiH3065 1readH7121 it to the kingH4428 as well as to allH3605 the officialsH8269 who stoodH5975 besideH4480H5921 the kingH4428.
22Now the kingH4428 was sittingH3427 in the 2winterH2779 houseH1004 in the 3ninthH8671 monthH2320, with a fire burningH1197 in the brazierH254 beforeH6440 him.
23When JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 columnsH1817, the king cutH7167 it with a scribe’sH5613 knifeH8593 and 4threwH7993 it into the fireH784 that was in the brazierH254, untilH5704 allH3605 the scrollH4039 was consumedH8552 in the fireH784 that was in the brazierH254.
24Yet the kingH4428 and allH3605 his servantsH5650 who heardH8085 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 were 5not afraidH6342, norH3808 did they 6rendH7167 their garmentsH899.
25Even thoughH1571 ElnathanH494 and DelaiahH1806 and GemariahH1587 7pleadedH6293 with the kingH4428 not to burnH8313 the scrollH4039, he would not listenH8085 to them.
