After the king had burned the scroll
This phrase marks a pivotal moment in the narrative, highlighting the defiance of King Jehoiakim against God's word. The Hebrew root for "burned" (שָׂרַף, saraph) conveys a sense of complete destruction by fire, symbolizing the king's blatant rejection of divine instruction. Historically, this act of burning a scroll was not just a physical destruction but a symbolic gesture of contempt towards the prophetic message. In the ancient Near Eastern context, scrolls were precious and laboriously crafted, making their destruction a significant act of rebellion. This phrase sets the stage for understanding the gravity of the king's actions and the subsequent divine response.

containing the words that Baruch had written
Baruch, the scribe, played a crucial role as Jeremiah's faithful assistant, transcribing the prophet's messages. The Hebrew term for "words" (דְּבָרִים, devarim) often signifies not just spoken words but divine utterances with authority and power. Baruch's role underscores the importance of preserving God's word, even in the face of opposition. This phrase reminds us of the enduring nature of God's message, which cannot be extinguished by human actions. The historical context of scribes in ancient Israel highlights their vital role in maintaining and transmitting sacred texts, emphasizing the divine-human partnership in the communication of God's will.

at Jeremiah’s dictation
The process of dictation here indicates a direct transmission of divine revelation from God to Jeremiah, and then to Baruch. The Hebrew root for "dictation" (קָרָא, qara) implies a calling or proclamation, suggesting that Jeremiah was not merely speaking his own thoughts but conveying a message from God. This phrase emphasizes the prophetic authority of Jeremiah, who serves as God's mouthpiece. In the broader scriptural context, this highlights the concept of inspiration, where human authors are guided by the Holy Spirit to communicate God's truth. It serves as a reminder of the divine origin and authority of Scripture.

the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah
This phrase introduces a new divine revelation, underscoring the persistence of God's communication despite human resistance. The Hebrew term for "word" (דָּבָר, davar) is rich with meaning, often denoting a matter or thing, but in this context, it signifies a powerful, active, and living message from God. The phrase "the word of the LORD" (יְהוָה, Yahweh) is a recurring biblical motif, emphasizing the covenantal relationship between God and His people. It reassures believers of God's unwavering commitment to communicate His will and purpose, regardless of human attempts to silence it. This phrase serves as a testament to the resilience and invincibility of God's word throughout history.

(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.

Verses 27-32. - Punishment denounced against Jehoiakim, and second writing of the former prophecy.
