Ezekiel 17:16-20
No! For as surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, the king of Israel will die in Babylon, the land of the king who put him in power and whose treaty he disregarded and broke.Pharaoh and all his mighty army will fail to help Israel when the king of Babylon lays siege to Jerusalem again and destroys many lives.For the king of Israel disregarded his treaty and broke it after swearing to obey; therefore, he will not escape.“ So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will punish him for breaking my covenant and disregarding the solemn oath he made in my name.I will throw my net over him and capture him in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon and put him on trial for this treason against me.

He then threw it into the fire, section by section, until the whole scroll was burned up.

Jeremiah 36:29-31
Then say to the king,‘ This is what the Lord says: You burned the scroll because it said the king of Babylon would destroy this land and empty it of people and animals.Now this is what the Lord says about King Jehoiakim of Judah: He will have no heirs to sit on the throne of David. His dead body will be thrown out to lie unburied— exposed to the heat of the day and the frost of the night.I will punish him and his family and his attendants for their sins. I will pour out on them and on all the people of Jerusalem and Judah all the disasters I promised, for they would not listen to my warnings.’”
