24 Yet they were not afraid, nor did they tear their garments, neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words.
25 Although Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah entreated the king not to burn the scroll, yet he would not listen to them.
26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize 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 had burned the book and the words which Baruch had written at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying:
28 Take again another scroll and write in it all the former words that were in the first book, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.
29 You shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah: Thus says the Lord: You have burned this book, saying, Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cause man and beast to cease from here?
30 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have no one to sit on the throne of David. And his dead body shall be cast out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night.
