Jeremiah 36
Jeremiah causes Baruch to write his prophecy; and
publickly to read it, ver. 1-10. The princes send to fetch the roll
and read it, ver. 11-18. They advise Baruch and Jeremiah to hide
themselves, ver. 19. The king tears part of the roll, and burns it,
ver. 20-26. Jeremiah denounces his judgment, ver. 27-31. Baruch
writes a new copy, ver. 32.
Verse 2. A roll - Parchments, which anciently were their books. All the
words - All the Revelations he had from God for twenty-two years
last past. God would have them recorded, that there might be a
memorial of them, that so the truth of them might appear, when
God should bring them to pass; the time of which now drew near.
Verse 6. Upon the fasting day - It was undoubtedly, because of the
concourse of people which the prophet knew would that day be in
the temple, that he chose that day, when some would be present
from all parts of Judah.
Verse 10. Then read - Most likely out of some window, or balcony, the
people being below, and hearing it.
Verse 18. He pronounced - This could not but add to the princes fear,
they must needs conceive that without a special influence of God,
it had been impossible, that Jeremiah should have called to mind
all that he had spoken at several times in so many years.
Verse 22. The ninth month - Answered to part of our November and
December.
Verse 23. He - The king not having patience to hear above three or four
columns, or periods, cut it in pieces and burned it in the fire.
Verse 25. Elnathan - These princes seemed to have had a greater dread
of God upon their hearts than the rest.
Verse 26. Hid them - God by his providence kept them both out of their
hands; directing them to find such a place of recess as the kings
messengers could not find out.
Verse 30. None to sit - That is, none that shall be king any considerable
time. Jeconiah his son was set up, but kept his throne but three
months.
