Jeremiah 36:27 In-Context

25 Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah tried to convince the king not to burn the scroll, but he brushed them off.
26 He just plowed ahead and ordered Prince Jerahameel, Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest Jeremiah the prophet and his secretary Baruch. But God had hidden them away.
27 After the king had burned the scroll that Baruch had written at Jeremiah's dictation, Jeremiah received this Message from God:
28 "Get another blank scroll and do it all over again. Write out everything that was in that first scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up.
29 "And send this personal message to Jehoiakim king of Judah: 'God says, You had the gall to burn this scroll and then the nerve to say, "What kind of nonsense is this written here - that the king of Babylon will come and destroy this land and kill everything in it?"
