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

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32

Jehoiakim burn’s Jeremiah’s scroll (36:1-32)God commanded Jeremiah to write down all the prophecies he had given during the previous twenty years and announce them again to Judah. Perhaps even yet the nation would repent and so escape God’s judgment (36:1-3).Over the next year Jeremiah wrote down the messages, using Baruch as his scribe. Since Jeremiah was forbidden to enter the temple (see 20:1-2; 26:7-9), he arranged for Baruch to go on his behalf and read the scroll to the people (4-7).... read more

Events Connected with the Collection of Jeremiah’s Prophecies into a Volume (4th and 5th years of Jehoiakim)The prophecies concerning Israel and Judah are now ended, and we have here the record of the embodying in a permanent form by Jeremiah of the substance of these prophecies.

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 36:1-32

Jehoiakim's Penknife Jeremiah 36:22-25 Jehoiakim sends for the roll; it is brought; he commands it to be read. But when only two or three columns have been read to him, he takes it from the reader, and deliberately cuts it into pieces with his penknife, and throws it into the fire, so that all is destroyed.

Chapter 26 leaves him still exposed to the persistent hostility of the priests and prophets, who had apparently... read more
