Now it was the ninth month, and the king was sitting in the winter house, with a fire burning there in the brazier before him. And after Jehudi had read three or four columns [of the scroll], King Jehoiakim would cut off that portion with a scribe’s knife and throw it into the fire that was in the brazier, until the [entire] scroll was consumed by the fire. Yet the king and all his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, nor did they tear their clothes. Even though Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
