Jeremiah 36:21-23
International Standard Version
21 The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the office of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it to the king[a] and to all the officials who were standing beside the king. 22 The king was sitting in the winter palace in the ninth month and a stove[b] was burning in front of him.[c] 23 As Jehudi would read three or four columns, the king[d] would cut it with a scribe’s knife and throw it into the fire which was in the stove, until all the scroll was burned[e] in the fire in the stove.
