Jeremiah 36:22-30

22Now the king was sitting in the 1winter house in the 2ninth month, with a fire burning in the brazier before him. 23And when Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with a scribe’s knife and 3threw it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all of the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. 24Yet the king and all his servants who heard all these words did 4not tremble in fear, nor did they 5tear their garments. 25Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah 6urged 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 7seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the 8Lord hid them.

27Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after the king had 9burned the scroll and the words which 10Baruch had written 11at the dictation of Jeremiah, saying, 28“12Take again another scroll and write on it all the previous words that were 13on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah burned. 29And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘This is what the Lord says: “You have 14burned this scroll, saying, ‘15Why have you written on it 16that the 17king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will make mankind and animals disappear from it?’” 30Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He shall have 18no one to sit on the throne of David, and his 19dead body shall be thrown out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night.
