Jeremiah 36:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 So the King sent Jehudi to fetch the roll, and he took it out of Elishama the Chancellor’s chamber, and Jehudi read it in the audience of the King, and in the audience of all the princes, which stood beside the King.
22 Now the King sat in the winter house, in the [a]ninth month, and there was a fire burning before him.
23 And when Jehudi had read three or four sides, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire, that was on the hearth.
