Jehoiakim burns Jeremiah's scroll
Baruch wrote Jeremiah's words and read them at the temple. As the scroll was read to Jehoiakim, the king cut off each section and threw it into the fire; the LORD told Jeremiah to dictate another scroll with all the former words and additional judgment (Jeremiah 36:1-32).

📖 Jeremiah 36:1–3
1In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD: 2“Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah, and all the nations, from the day I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah until today. 3Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the calamity I plan to bring upon them, each of them will turn from his wicked way. Then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
