And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 23 is found in chapter 36 of Jeremiah. The officials hear the scroll and eventually bring it to the king. Jehoiakim cuts the columns of the document and burns them, but the physical destruction of the scroll does not destroy the word. The scene demonstrates the difference between political authority and divine authority: the king can burn a manuscript, but he cannot cancel the message it contains.

Wenn aber Judi drei oder vier Blatt gelesen hatte, zerschnitt er es mit einem Schreibmesser und warf es ins Feuer, das im Kaminherde war, bis das Buch ganz verbrannte im Feuer,
Y fue que, como Jehudí hubo leído tres o cuatro planas, rasgolo con un cuchillo de escribanía, y echolo en el fuego que había en el brasero, hasta que todo el rollo se consumió sobre el fuego que en el brasero había.
Cada vez que Jehudí leía tres o cuatro columnas, el rey las cortaba con el cuchillo del escriba y las arrojaba al fuego del brasero, hasta que todo el rollo se consumió en el fuego del brasero.
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.
il re lo tagliò col coltellino del segretario, e lo gettò nel fuoco, ch’era nel focolare, finchè tutto il rotolo fu consumato sul fuoco, ch’era in sul focolare.
E sucedeu que, tendo Jeudi lido três ou quatro folhas, cortou-as com um canivete de escrivão, e lançou-as no fogo que havia no braseiro, até que todo o rolo se consumiu no fogo que estava sobre o braseiro.
猶底 念了三、四段 ,王就用文士的刀把書卷割破,丟在火盆裏,直到全卷在火中燒盡了。
