The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 36:27-32

The rewriting of the roll. Under the inspiration of God Jeremiah requires Baruch to write another roll, containing all that was in the burnt roll and also some additional matter. We may take the following points connected with the rewriting of the roll— I. THE FRUSTRATION OF ALL ATTEMPTS TO SUPPRESS DIVINE TRUTH . Jehoiakim is a king and a tyrant. But there is a limit to his power. It is vain for him to attempt to hinder the declaration of God's truth. If one roll is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 36:27-32

The Word of God: wherein it can and wherein it cannot be destroyed. I. WHEREIN IT CAN BE DESTROYED . 1 . In its outward form and medium. The roll; inspired records; religious institutions and means of grace; individual believers and Churches. 2 . As a vehicle of blessing to a man's own soul. Jehoiakim deliberately cut off his own salvation, and, destroying the roll, he caused his name to be blotted out of the book of life. To him it brought no blessing. We can... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 36:29

Thou shalt say to Jehoiakim; rather, concerning Jehoiakim. Intercourse between Jehoiakim and the prophet was broken off by the preceding scene. The speech begins in the oratio directa, but soon passes into the obliqua. Cause to cease … man and beast . A forcible description of the completeness of the devastation. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 36:29

The king of Babylon ... - These words do not prove that Nebuchadnezzar had not already come, and compelled Jehoiakim to become his vassal. The force lies in the last words, which predict such a coming as would make the land utterly desolate: and this would be the result of the king throwing off the Chaldaean yoke. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 36:30

He shall have none to sit ... - The 3 months’ reign of Jehoiakim was too destitute of real power to be a contradiction to this prediction. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 36:27-29

Jeremiah 36:27-29. Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, &c. Jeremiah now receives orders to write in another roll the same words that were written in that which Jehoiakim had burned. Observe well, reader, though the attempts of hell against the word of God are very daring, yet not one tittle of it shall fall to the ground; nor shall the unbelief of man make the truth of God of none effect. Its enemies may prevail to burn many of the Bibles which contain it, yet they cannot... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 36:30-31

Jeremiah 36:30-31. He shall have none to sit on the throne of David That is, none that shall be king any considerable time; Jeconiah, his son, was set up, but kept his throne only three months, and left none to succeed him in a direct line. And his dead body shall be cast out See note on Jeremiah 22:19. And I will punish him and his seed, &c. Even his seed and his servants shall fare the worse for their relation to him: for they shall be punished, not indeed for his iniquity, but... read more
