22Since it was the ninth month, the king was sitting in his winter quarters with a fire burning before him.
23And as soon as Jehudi had read three or four columns, Jehoiakim would cut them off with a scribe’s knife and throw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll had been consumed by the fire.
24Yet in hearing all these words, the king and his servants did not become frightened or tear their garments.
— Jeremiah 36:22-24
