Jeremiah 36:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 36:2

The Scroll Read in the Temple

1 Now it came to pass in the ^afourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

2 “Take a ^ascroll of a book and ^bwrite on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against ^call the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of ^dJosiah even to this day.

3 It ^amay be that the house of Judah will hear all the adversities which I purpose to bring upon them, that everyone may ^bturn from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”

4 Then Jeremiah ^acalled Baruch the son of Neriah; and ^bBaruch wrote on a scroll of a book,¹ at the instruction of Jeremiah, all the words of the Lord which He had spoken to him.

5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am confined, I cannot go into the house of the Lord.

6 You go, therefore, and read from the scroll which you have written¹ at my instruction, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord’s house on ^athe day of fasting. And you shall also read them in the hearing of all Judah who come from their cities.
