Jeremiah 36:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ So King Jehoiakim sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought the scroll from the room of Elishama the ·royal secretary [scribe] and read it ·to [^Lin the ears of] the king and ·to [^Lin the ears of] all the officers who stood around the king. ²² It was the ninth month of the year [^Clate autumn], so King Jehoiakim was sitting in the winter apartment. There was a fire burning in a ·small firepot [brazier] in front of him. ²³ After Jehudi had read three or four columns, ·the king [^Lhe] cut those columns off of the scroll with a penknife and threw them into the ·firepot [brazier]. Finally, the whole scroll was burned in the fire.
