Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 36:23

And it came to pass that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the pen-knife, 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.

That is the king, not having patience to hear above three or four collumns, or periods, or titles took the pen-knife, that (it is like) I[illegible: 1 letter]hudi had, and cut it in pieces, and burned it in the fire that was before him, not considering that it was the Revelation of the will of God, but exalting himself above all that was called God. This shewed both the wickedness, and passionate temper of this Prince, and his high contempt of God and his Prophets.
