This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_36:3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
Ver. 3. It may be that the house of Judah will hear, &c.] See here the utility of the Holy Scriptures, and the excellent use that may be made of reading them. A man may be thereby doubtless converted where preaching is wanting, as various were in Queen Mary’s days, when the Word of God was precious; {a} as Augustine was by reading Rom_13:1-14., Fulgentius by the Frophet Jonah, Franciseus Junius by Joh_1:1-51., &c.; the eunuch, {Act_8:26-39} and those noble Bereans, {Act_17:11} were notably prepared for conversion by this ordinance.
That I may forgive their iniquity and their sin,] i.e., Their sins of all sorts, giving them a free and full discharge.
{a} Foxe’s Martyrol.
