Jeremiah 36:32 Summary

This verse shows us that God's Word is powerful and enduring, and that He will not let it be destroyed. When King Jehoiakim burned the original scroll, God instructed Jeremiah to rewrite it, demonstrating His authority and control over all things (as seen in Psalm 115:3). By adding similar words to the new scroll, God was providing further warning and instruction to His people, much like He does for us today through Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17). This verse reminds us that God's Word is a precious gift, and that we should trust in its power and authority to guide our lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Jeremiah rewrite the scroll that King Jehoiakim had burned?

Jeremiah rewrote the scroll because God instructed him to do so, in order to preserve His Word and to demonstrate His authority over those who would seek to destroy it, as seen in Jeremiah 36:32 and Deuteronomy 31:24-26.

What does it mean that many similar words were added to the new scroll?

This verse illustrates the idea that God's Word is eternal and unchanging, and that no human action can ultimately destroy it, as stated in Matthew 24:35 and Psalm 119:89-91.

What can we learn from Jeremiah's obedience in rewriting the scroll?

Jeremiah's obedience demonstrates the importance of trusting and following God's instructions, even in the face of opposition or adversity, as seen in Jeremiah 36:32 and Hebrews 11:1-40.

Then took Jeremiah another roll,.... Of parchment; several sheets joined together, which made up a roll or volume: and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who was by office a public

Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 36:32

Wicked men get nothing by opposing themselves to the revealed will of God, how ungrateful soever it be to them, but the addition of guilt of their souls, and the increase of Divine wrath; God’ s counsels shall stand, and what he speaks shall most certainly be accomplished. Here is another roll, written with additional threatenings, confirmative of what God had before-said.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 36:32

Jeremiah 36:32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.Ver. 32. Then took Jeremiah.] Who is therefore famous for his obedience; which is then only right, when it is prompt and present, ready and, speedy, without delays and consults, as here. And there were added besides unto them many like words.] So little is gotten by relucting against the Word of God, and persecuting his messengers. What do wicked men hereby but entangle themselves more and more, as one that goeth among briers? "Did not my word take hold of your fathers?" What do they else, but as she in the history, who, disliking her looking glass for showing her truly the wrinkles in her old withered face, broke it in displeasure; and then she had for one glass many, every piece thereof presenting to her the decay of her beauty, which she was so loath to take notice of. The best way is to pass into the likeness of the heavenly pattern. See Micah 2:7. Oppressus Christi Spiritus robustior in se coactus exilit. - Oecolamp.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 36:32

(32) And there were added besides unto them many like words.—The passage is interesting as showing, as it were, the genesis of the present volume of the prophet’s writings. The discourse delivered in the Temple court was, in modern phrase, revised and enlarged, dictated to Baruch as before, and in this shape has probably come down to us in Jeremiah 25.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 36:32

Verse 32. There were added - many like words.] All the first roll, with many other threatenings, and perhaps more minute declarations which were merely of a temporary importance and local application; and the Holy Spirit did not think proper to record them here.

Many like words - The second scroll was thus a more complete record of the main lessons taught by Jeremiah during the long course of his inspired ministry.
