21 And the king sent Jehudi to take the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who were standing beside the king. 22 And the king was sitting in the house of the winter in the ninth month, and the hearth before his face was burning. 23 And it came to pass when Jehudi had read three or four columns that he cut it with the knife of a scribe and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the scroll was consumed upon the fire that was on the hearth. 24 And they were not afraid and they did not tear their garments—the king and his servants who heard all these words. 25 And even Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah implored the king to not burn the scroll, and he would not listen to them. 26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel son of the king, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; and YHWH hid them away.
