Context
18Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote with ink in the book.
19Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.
20And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.
21So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe’s chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
22Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and on the hearth burning before him.
23And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast into the fire that on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that on the hearth.
24Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
