Jeremiah 36:22-24

Expanded Bible

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. ²⁴ King Jehoiakim and his servants heard ·everything that was said [^Lall these words], but they were not frightened! They did not tear their clothes [^Cto show their sorrow].
