    28 "Take another scroll and write on it all the original words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned.

    29 And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘This is what the LORD says: You burned this scroll, saying, “Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon will surely come and destroy this land and leave it without people or animals?”’
