Jeremiah 36:21-25

21So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the megillah , and he brought it out of the chamber of the scribe Elishama. Jehudi read it in the ears of the king and all the officials who were standing by the king.

22Since it was the ninth month, the king was residing in the winter house, with a fireplace burning before him.

23Now as soon as Jehudi had read three or four columns, he cut it with the scribe’s knife and tossed it into the fire that was in the fireplace, until the whole megillah was consumed in the fire in the fireplace.

24Yet neither the king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words were afraid, nor tore their clothes.

25Moreover Elnatan, Delaiah and Gemariah entreated the king not to burn the megillah , but he would not listen to them.
