What does Jeremiah 36:29 mean?

And say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, “This is what the Lord says: You burned that scroll and said, ‘Why did you write that the king of Babylon will come and destroy this land and wipe out people and animals?’” Jeremiah 36:29 - Modern Text Bible

(God addresses the king directly, calling out his attempt to silence the prophecy and his anger at the warning.)
