Notes

Jeremiah 36:27–32

While hiding, Jeremiah and Baruch copied all the messages from the destroyed scroll onto a new papyrus roll. No human king can destroy God's words. Instead, God sentenced Jehoiakim to death.

Jeremiah 36:1–32

This description of Jehoiakim’s cynical response to God's call for repentance and obedience (Jeremiah 36:3, 7) highlights the hopelessness of the situation.
Nowhere else does the Old Testament offer such detailed information about preserving spoken messages in written form.

Jeremiah 35:1–36:32

These two chapters reflect on events from twenty years ago when Jehoiakim was king.
