Jeremiah 36:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ Then the king sent Jehudi to take the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the secretary, and Jehudi read it aloud in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the officials who stood next to the king. ²² Now the king was sitting in the quarters of the winter in the ninth month, and a fire-pot was burning before^[a] him. ²³ And then,^[b] as Jehudi read three or four columns, he would cut it up in pieces with the knife of the scribe, and he would throw it^[c] into the fire that was in the fire-pot until the whole of the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire-pot.
