23 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.
24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his slaves that heard all these words.
25 Nevertheless when Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah made intercession to the king that he not burn the roll; he would not hear them.
26 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.
27 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after the king burned the roll, the words which Baruch had written at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying:
28 Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.
29 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus hath the Lord said: Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land and shall cause to cease from there man and beast?
