Jeremiah 36:23-32
23And when Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with a scribe’s knife and 1threw 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 2not tremble in fear, nor did they 3tear their garments. 25Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah 4urged 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 5seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the 6Lord hid them.
27Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after the king had 7burned the scroll and the words which 8Baruch had written 9at the dictation of Jeremiah, saying, 28“10Take again another scroll and write on it all the previous words that were 11on 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 12burned this scroll, saying, ‘13Why have you written on it 14that the 15king 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 16no one to sit on the throne of David, and his 17dead body shall be thrown out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night. 31I will also 18punish him, his 19descendants, and his servants for their wrongdoing, and I will 20bring on them and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the people of Judah all the disaster that I have declared to them--but they did not listen.”’”
32Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch the son of Neriah, and he 21wrote on it at the 22dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and many 23similar words were added to them.
