Context — Jeremiah Rewrites the Scroll

25Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. 26Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the LORD had hidden them.

27After the king had burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

28“Take another scroll and rewrite on it the very words that were on the original scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned. 29You are to proclaim concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah that this is what the LORD says: You have burned the scroll and said, ‘Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon would surely come and destroy this land and deprive it of man and beast?’

Jeremiah 36:27 Summary

[This verse shows that even when people reject or try to destroy God's word, He will not be silenced, as seen in Jeremiah 36:27 and Psalm 119:89. The king's actions in burning the scroll did not stop God's message from being proclaimed, and instead, it led to an even greater proclamation of judgment against him. We can learn from this that God's word is powerful and will ultimately prevail, as stated in Isaiah 40:8. By obeying God's commands and listening to His word, we can avoid the kind of judgment that the king faced, and instead, experience God's blessings and protection, as seen in Jeremiah 36:26 and Psalm 1:1-3.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the king burn the scroll containing Jeremiah's words?

The king burned the scroll because he was angry and refused to listen to the words of warning and judgment that Jeremiah had written, as seen in Jeremiah 36:25-26, similar to the reaction of Pharaoh in Exodus 5:2 when he refused to listen to Moses.

What happened to Baruch and Jeremiah after the king burned the scroll?

The LORD had hidden Baruch and Jeremiah, protecting them from the king's wrath, as stated in Jeremiah 36:26, demonstrating God's care for His servants, similar to His protection of Daniel in Daniel 6:22-23.

How did God respond to the king's actions?

After the king burned the scroll, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, instructing him to rewrite the scroll and proclaim judgment against the king, as seen in Jeremiah 36:27-29, showing that God's word will not be silenced, as also stated in Isaiah 55:11.

What can we learn from the king's actions in this verse?

The king's refusal to listen to Jeremiah's words and his subsequent burning of the scroll serve as a warning against rejecting God's word and ignoring His warnings, as seen in Proverbs 29:1 and 2 Chronicles 36:16, highlighting the importance of humility and obedience to God's commands.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways that I might be 'burning the scroll' in my own life, rejecting God's word or ignoring His warnings?
How can I, like Jeremiah, remain faithful and obedient to God's commands, even in the face of opposition or persecution?
What are some areas in my life where I need to be more receptive to God's word and more obedient to His will, as seen in Jeremiah 36:27 and Deuteronomy 30:19-20?
How can I, like the LORD, respond to those who reject or oppose me, with kindness, compassion, and a desire to see them come to know God, as seen in Jeremiah 36:27 and Matthew 5:44?

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 36:27

Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah,.... In the place where he was hid; the Lord knew where he was, for he hid him, and therefore could send his word to him: after the king had burnt the roll;

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 36:27

Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, The roll and the words - i:e., the roll of words.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 36:27

Jeremiah 36:27 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,Ver. 27. Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.] Jehoiakim took an ill course to free himself from trouble, as he counted it, by burning the roll; for God’ s Word cannot be burnt, no more than it can be bound. And "shall they thus escape by iniquity?" No, verily; for it followeth, and is not more votum than vaticinium, a wish than a prophecy, "In thine anger cast down the people, O God."

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 36:27

(27) Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.—This was probably during the concealment of the two friends, and to the command thus given we probably owe the present form of Jeremiah 25—perhaps, also, of the earlier chapters of the book. But, in addition to the reproduction of the judgment denounced upon the nation at large, there was now a special prediction as to Jehoiakim himself. (1) He was to have “none to sit upon the throne of David.” As a matter of fact, he was succeeded by his son Jehoiachin, or Jeconiah, but the reign of the boy-prince as a tributary king lasted for three months only, and Zedekiah, who succeeded him, was the brother and not the son of Jehoiakim (comp. Jeremiah 22:30). (2) His dead body was to be “cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.” The same prediction is found in Jeremiah 22:18-19, written probably after the incident thus recorded. See Note there as to its fulfilment.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 36:27

27–32. See introd. summary to the chapter. Du. and Co. consider that the passage, as it stands, shews traces of a later hand, on the ground that the king is represented as addressing Jeremiah (Jeremiah 36:29), though they did not meet. This, however, seems somewhat hypercritical. It is true that Jeremiah 36:30 may seem to imply that Jehoiakim would have no son to succeed him, whereas Jehoiachin reigned, though only for three months (2 Kings 24:8). If this, however, had been the sense attached to the saying when placed here, it probably would not have been inserted, as not being in accordance with the result. “Sit” may quite naturally be taken to mean sit permanently, Jehoiachin’s short reign being ignored.
