Thou didst say, Wo is me now, &c. “The sorrows which I felt for the threatenings denounced against my country and religion are increased by my own troubles, being sought after by the king’s command in order to be put to death:” see Jeremiah 36:26.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 45:1-5

A message for Baruch (45:1-5)Jeremiah gave this word of encouragement to his assistant Baruch on the occasion when Baruch had to read the scroll of God’s judgments to the people (45:1; see 36:1-32). Baruch was distressed, but, says Jeremiah, think how much more distressed is God, who is about to destroy the very nation that he has built up (2-4). Baruch was thinking how his unpopular announcements might affect his own security or advancement; but, says Jeremiah, when divine judgment falls on... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 45:1-5

Baritch’s Appendix to the Roll of Jeremiah 36Baruch, a man of social position (see Intro.), seems to have expected either important office in the state or more probably the gift of prophecy. On the occasion of his writing of the roll at Jeremiah’s dictation, the prophet warns him that his ambition is not to be gratified.3. Sorrow] RV ’pain ’at the sins of his countrymen. The added ’grief was caused by the predictions of punishment.’5. But thy life, etc.] Baruch’s life should be preserved amidst... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 45:1-5

XLV.(1) The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch . . .—The chapter is obviously misplaced as far as chronological order is concerned. and ought to follow on Jeremiah 35, 36. It gives us a glimpse of singular interest into the character of the prophet’s helper. He was discouraged and desponding, and yet the very despondency was that of an ambitious temperament eager to take the lead. His master was in prison. Neither king nor nobles listened to him. He had, it may be, drawn for... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 45:1-5

The Minute Philosopher Jeremiah 45:5 Service is perhaps life's best interpretation. I. To rise in life, then, is never to escape from service. The nobler and better we are growing, the more entangled shall we be in a far-reaching servitude. Jesus has taught us that service is the true measurement of greatness. He is the least whose service is the poorest. He is the greatest whose service is the best. Could we forget ourselves, and serve mankind in life and death, we should be growing... read more
