Jeremiah 36:23-25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, he would cut off the piece with a scribe’s knife[a] and throw it into the fire in the brazier, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire in the brazier. 24 As they were listening to all these words the king and all his officials did not become alarmed, nor did they tear their garments. 25 And though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
