Jeremiah 36 Images and
Notes
Brief Summary: Here is another expedient tried to work
upon this heedless and untoward people, but it is tried in vain.
A roll of a book is provided, containing an abstract or
abridgment of all the sermons that Jeremiah had preached to
them, that they might be put in mind of what they had heard and
might the better understand it, when they had it all before them
at one view. Now here we have, I. The writing of this roll by
Baruch, as Jeremiah dictated it (v. 1-4). II. The reading of the
roll by Baruch to all the people publicly on a fast-day (v.
5-10), afterwards by Baruch to the princes privately (v. 11-19),
and lastly by Jehudi to the king (v. 20, v. 21). III. The
burning of the roll by the king, with orders to prosecute
Jeremiah and Baruch (v. 22-26). IV. The writing of another roll,
with large additions, particularly of Jehoiakim's doom for
burning the former (v. 27-32).
Outline
Baruch is to write the prophecies of Jeremiah. (1-8)
The princes advise them to hide themselves. (9-19)
