Taking another roll, Jeremiah gave it to Baruch, "who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words." Verses 28,32. The wrath of man had sought to prevent the labors of the prophet of God; but the very means by which Jehoiakim had endeavored to limit the influence of the servant of Jehovah, gave further opportunity for making plain the divine requirements.

Jeremias gav Baruk en anden bogrulle, og Baruk "optegnede i den efter Jeremias mund alle ordene fra den bog, kong Jojakim af Juda havde brændt. Og flere lignende ord lagdes til". 28. og 32. vers. Mennesket havde i sin vrede søgt at hindre Guds profet i hans arbejde, men selve den handling, som Jojakim begik for at begrænse Herrens tjeners indflydelse, blev et middel til at gøre Guds krav endnu tydeligere.
