John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 36:31

Verse 31 Here a reason is given for what the former verse contains; for if the Prophet had only said, that the dead body of the king would remain unburied and cast out in dishonor to be exposed in the night to the cold and in the day to the heat, the narrative would not have produced the effect intended; but God shews here the cause, which was this, that he had forewarned King Jehoiakim and all his counsellors, (called here servants) and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all the Jews... read more

CHAPTERS 36-38. NARRATIVE OF EVENTS PRECEDING THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM . Jeremiah 36:1-32 . THE ROLL OF PROPHECY DESTROYED BY JEHOIAKIM . Now, it is remarkable, and points the way to a solution of the problem, that Jeremiah 25:1-38 . is said ( Jeremiah 25:1 ) to have been written in the very same year to which the narrative before us refers, and that it is mainly concerned with the invasion of Nebuchadnezzar and its consequences (indeed, entirely... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32

Hearers of God's Word. This chapter brings before us an instructive variety of these hearers. I. SUCH AS THE PROPHET . To him and such as he the Word of God came, and was received with reverent submission and diligently obeyed at all costs. They could say, "Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth." II. SUCH AS THE PEOPLE GENERALLY . ( Jeremiah 36:10 .) The mass seemed unaffected. We do not read of their being in any wise wrought upon by what they had heard. But... read more

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 36:28

Disaster not defeat. What dismay must have filled the minds of those who saw the book destroyed, and of those who heard of it—Baruch, Jeremiah, and others! I. IT WAS GREAT DISASTER . The book was most precious. See its gracious intent. See how it had already moved many for good. What might not be expected from it? II. AND IT SEEMED IRRETRIEVABLE . There was no copy of it kept. No human memory could reproduce it. The word had not sunk into the hearts of the people so... 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
