Jeremiah 36:7-8 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD had pronounced against this people. And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD’S house.
‘It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD had pronounced against this people.’ Note the hope of Jeremiah – It may be that the people in the temple will hear the prophecies, present their supplication before the Lord, and return every one from his evil way, for great is His anger which He has pronounced against this people.
‘Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD’S house.’ Baruch obeyed Jeremiah and read all the newly-written scroll of prophecies in the Lord’s house. This was done in the fifth year and in the ninth month when the people had come out of all the cities of Judah to worship (36:8-10). This was about a year after the scroll was begun; perhaps it took this long to get all the prophecies collected together and in one scroll (36:1, 9). The ninth month would be our December. Jerusalem had been taken by Nebuchadnezzar about a year before and Jehoiakim was subject to Babylon.
