22 The king was sitting in the winter palace in the ninth month and a stove[a] was burning in front of him.[b] 23 As Jehudi would read three or four columns, the king[c] would cut it with a scribe’s knife and throw it into the fire which was in the stove, until all the scroll was burned[d] in the fire in the stove. 24 The king and all his officials[e] who were listening to these words were not afraid, nor did they tear their garments.
