Jeremiah 36:20-32
  • 20So they went into the court to the king, having put the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the secretary, and they reported all the words to the king.
  • 21Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the secretary. And Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who stood beside the king.
  • 22It was the ninth month, and the king was sitting in the winter house, and there was a fire burning in the fire pot before him.
  • 23As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot.
  • 24Yet neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words was afraid, nor did they tear their garments.
  • 25

    Even when Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
  • 26And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son and Seraiah the son of Azriel and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the secretary and Jeremiah the prophet, but the LORD hid them.
  • 27Now after the king had burned the scroll with the words that Baruch wrote at Jeremiah's dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
  • 28"Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.
  • 29And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, 'Thus says the LORD, You have burned this scroll, saying, "Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cut off from it man and beast?"
  • 30Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day and the frost by night.
  • 31And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and upon the people of Judah all the disaster that I have pronounced against them, but they would not hear.'"
  • 32Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote on it at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
