“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.”
The king's response: 'As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king cut them off with a penknife and cast them into the fire.' Jehoiakim's destruction represents his rejection of the word. The king's act is blasphemous.
