Jeremiah 36:22-24

Good News Translation

²² It was winter and the king was sitting in his winter palace in front of the fire. ²³ As soon as Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut them off with a small knife and threw them into the fire. He kept doing this until the entire scroll was burned up. ²⁴ But neither the king nor any of his officials who heard all this was afraid or showed any sign of sorrow.
