This event happened in the same year Baruch spent many hours in hiding. There, he wrote the messages the Lord gave to Jeremiah (Jeremiah 36:1–4).

Jehoiakim had threatened to kill both Jeremiah and Baruch, so the prophet and the scribe went into hiding. Baruch was very tired and felt sorry for himself.
