Jeremiah 36:23-25

Expanded Bible

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]. ²⁵ Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah ·even tried to talk [beseeched] King Jehoiakim out of burning the scroll, but he would not listen to them.
