Yirmiyahu rebuked Israel and prophesied about the Destruction in Year 3321, as it says [(Yirmiyahu 25)] "from year 12 of Josiah until this day, 23 years" [(but in another version it says this word which came upon Yirmiyahu in year four of Jehoiakim was year one of Nebuchadnezzar, and in verse 2 "from year 12" etc.)]. In year four of Jehoiakim in the ninth month [(which is Kislev. Avodat Shmuel wrote chapter 36: All the sins that a person commits from Rosh Chodesh Nissan until Tishrei are forgiven on Yom Kippur when he repents, and if he does not repent they give him until Kislev which is forty days corresponding to the forty days of receiving the Torah (and it needs clarification as it is close to 50 days), and this is nine months, and therefore it says "he conceived iniquity")].

They proclaimed a fast, and Baruch read from the scroll the words of Yirmiyahu. And our Sages said that it was the scroll of Megillat Eicha, and King Jehoiakim burned it in the fire [(Yirmiyahu 36)], and this was Year 3321 [(Tzeda LaDerech). In Moed Katan chapter 26 they said to Jehoiakim: Yirmiyahu wrote a book of lamentations, what is written in it? They said: "How does the city sit solitary." He said: I am king, etc.

When they said it he needed to rend immediately according to each mention of God's Name in it, and he burned it].
