Jeremiah 36:20-32

²⁰ So they went to the king in the court , but they had deposited the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe , and they reported e all the words to the king . ²¹ Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll , and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe . And Jehudi read it to the king as well as to all the officials who stood beside e the king . ²² Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month , with a fire burning in the brazier before him. ²³ When Jehudi had read three or four columns , the king cut it with a scribe's knife and threw it into the fire that was in the brazier , until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier . ²⁴ Yet the king and all his servants who heard all these words were not afraid , nor did they rend their garments . ²⁵ Even though Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll , he would not listen to them. ²⁶ And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son , Seraiah the son of Azriel , and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet , but the Lord hid them. ²⁷ Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after the king had burned the scroll and the words which Baruch had written at the dictation of Jeremiah , saying , ²⁸ " Take again another scroll and write on it all the former words that were on the first scroll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah burned . ²⁹ "And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say , 'Thus says the Lord , "You have burned this scroll , saying , ' Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land , and will make man and beast to cease from it?' " ³⁰ 'Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah , "He shall have no one to sit on the throne of David , and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night . ³¹ "I will also punish him and his descendants and his servants for their iniquity , and I will bring on them and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the men of Judah all the calamity that I have declared to them-but they did not listen .""' ³² Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the son of Neriah , the scribe , and he wrote on it at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire ; and many similar words were added to them.
