This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_36:2 Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
Ver. 2. Take thee a roll {a} of a book,] i.e., A volume. {as Isa_8:1} {See Trapp on "Isa_8:1"}
And write therein.] Jeremiah had a command to write; so have not our empty scripturients, whose rapes on the innocence of paper, as one phraseth it, make the press almost execrable. Ista prurientis calami scabies potius est, quam scriptio. {a}
All the words that I have spoken unto thee.] The sum and substance of all thy sermons for these twenty-three years past. See Jer_1:2; Jer_25:3.
{a} Olim liber erat instar mappae geographicae.
{b} Pineda.
