Jeremiah 36:22-26

22Now the kingH4428 satH3427 in the winterhouseH1004H2779 in the ninthH8671 monthH2320: and there was a fire on the hearthH254 burningH1197 beforeH6440 him. 23And it came to pass, that when JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 leavesH1817, he cutH7167 it with the scribe’s penknifeH8593H5608, and castH7993 it into the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254, until all the rollH4039 was consumedH8552 in the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254. 24Yet they were not afraidH6342, nor toreH7167 their garmentsH899, neither the kingH4428, nor any of his servantsH5650 that heardH8085 all these wordsH1697. 25Nevertheless ElnathanH494 and DelaiahH1806 and GemariahH1587 had made intercessionH6293 to the kingH4428 that he would not burnH8313 the scrollH4039: but he would not hearH8085 them. 26But the kingH4428 commandedH6680 JerahmeelH3396 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4429, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of AzrielH5837, and ShelemiahH8018 the sonH1121 of AbdeelH5655, to takeH3947 BaruchH1263 the scribeH5608 and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030: but the LORDH3068 hidH5641 them.1
