Jeremiah 36:27-32

Now, after the king had burned the scroll with the words that Baruch wrote
at Jeremiah's dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:  Take
another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first
scroll, which King Jehoiakim of Judah has burned.  And concerning King
Jehoiakim of Judah you shall say: Thus says the LORD, You have dared to
burn this scroll, saying, Why have you written in it that the king of
Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cut off from
it human beings and animals?  Therefore thus says the LORD concerning King
Jehoiakim of Judah: He shall have no one to sit upon the throne of David,
and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day and the frost by
night.  And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their
iniquity; I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and
on the people of Judah, all the disasters with which I have threatened
them — but they would not listen.

Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the secretary Baruch son
of Neriah, who wrote on it at Jeremiah's dictation all the words of the
scroll that King Jehoiakim of Judah had burned in the fire; and many
similar words were added to them.
