Jeremiah 36:21-25 NIV

[21] The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and Jehudi brought it from the room of Elishama the secretary and read it to the king and all the officials standing beside him. [22] It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in the winter apartment, with a fire burning in the firepot in front of him. [23] Whenever Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll, the king cut them off with a scribe’s knife and threw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll was burned in the fire. [24] The king and all his attendants who heard all these words showed no fear, nor did they tear their clothes. [25] Even though Elnathan, Delaiah and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
