Jeremiah:36:21-26

*
So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll :
and he took it out of Elishama the scribe '
s chamber .
And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king ,
and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king .
*
Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month :
and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him .
*
And it came to pass ,
that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves ,
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 .
*
Yet they were not afraid ,
nor rent their garments ,
neither the king ,
nor any of his servants that heard all these words .
*
Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll :
but he would not hear them .
*
But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech ,
and Seraiah the son of Azriel ,
and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel ,
to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet :
but the LORD hid them .
