July 27, 2025 – Jeremiah 36 – A Scroll Cut to Pieces

God tells Jeremiah to write down all his prophecies in a scroll and recite them to the people, in a final attempt to call the people to repentance. Jeremiah dictates to his disciple Baruch, who reads the scroll in the Temple to the people. The king Jehoiakim obtains the scroll and, as his servant reads it, he slices it apart bit by bit and throws it in the fire. Jeremiah recreates the scroll, and adds a curse on the king and his descendants.
