What the Bible says about Baruch as an Inveterate Grumbler
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Jeremiah 45:3 Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe, certainly an intelligent and perhaps a prominent man in his own right, was born in these dire times. He was not above sounding off about his situation. The Scriptures do not quote Baruch's complaint directly. Rather, it comes to us through God's recitation. Maybe Baruch verbalized these exact words. It is more likely, through, that he was an inveterate grumbler—a typical Israelite, chronically registering his discontent to Jeremiah using various peevish words. In this passage, God may have simply distilled them into a kernel, as it were, Baruch's discontent in a nutshell. Jeremiah 36:2-7 may provide clues about what was behind Baruch's complaint.
