Jeremiah 36:22-26

22It was athe ninth month, and the king was sitting in bthe winter house, and there was a fire burning in the fire pot before him. 23As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot. 24Yet cneither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words was afraid, dnor did they tear their garments. 25Even when eElnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah furged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. 26And the king commanded Jerahmeel the gking’s son and Seraiah the son of Azriel and hShelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize iBaruch the secretary and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord hid them.
