The Scroll Is Burned
20 So they went to the (A)king in the court, but they had deposited the scroll in the chamber of (B)Elishama the scribe, and they declared all the words in the hearing of the king. 21 Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi (C)read it in the hearing of the king as well as in the hearing of all the officials who stood beside the king. 22 Now the king was sitting in the (D)winter house in the (E)ninth month, with a fire burning in the brazier before him. 23 And it happened that when Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with a scribe’s knife and (F)threw it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll [a]was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. 24 Yet the king and all his servants who heard all these words were (G)not in dread, nor did they (H)tear their garments. 25 Even though Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah (I)interceded with the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. 26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to (J)take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but (K)Yahweh hid them.
