Baruch and Jeremiah Write Another Scroll

36:27 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah after Jehoiakim had burned the scroll containing what Jeremiah had spoken and Baruch had written down.48 36:28 “Get another49 scroll and write on it everything50 that was written on the original scroll51 that King Jehoiakim of Judah burned. 36:29 Tell King Jehoiakim of Judah, ‘The Lord says, “You burned the scroll. You asked52 Jeremiah, ‘How dare you write in this scroll that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land and wipe out all the people and animals on it?’ ”53 36:30 So the Lord says concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah, “None of his line will occupy the throne of David.54 His dead body will be thrown out to be exposed to scorching heat by day and frost by night.55 36:31 I will punish him and his descendants and the officials who serve him for the wicked things they have done.56 I will bring on them, the citizens of Jerusalem,57 and the people of Judah all the disaster that I threatened to do to them. I will punish them because I threatened them but they still paid no heed.” ’ ”58 36:32 Then Jeremiah got another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah. As Jeremiah dictated, Baruch wrote on this scroll everything that had been on the scroll that King Jehoiakim of Judah burned in the fire. They also added on this scroll several other messages of the same kind.59
