Jeremiah 36:23 in Context — Jeremiah 36
21 Le roi envoya Jehudi pour prendre le livre, Jehudi le prit dans la chambre d’Élischama, le secrétaire, et il le lut aux oreilles du roi et aux oreilles de tous les chefs qui étaient auprès du roi.
22 Le roi était assis dans la maison d’hiver, c’était au neuvième mois, et un brasier était allumé devant lui.
23 Lorsque Jehudi eut lu trois ou quatre feuilles, le roi coupa le livre avec le canif du secrétaire, et le jeta dans le feu du brasier, où il fut entièrement consumé.
24 Le roi et tous ses serviteurs, qui entendirent toutes ces paroles, ne furent point effrayés et ne déchirèrent point leurs vêtements.
25 Elnathan, Delaja et Guemaria, avaient fait des instances auprès du roi pour qu’il ne brûlât pas le livre; mais il ne les écouta pas.
