Jeremias 36:25 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 36:25

Three of the five princes mentioned in ( Jeremiah 36:12 ) ; had made intercession to the king, that he would not burn the roll;
or suffer it to be burnt; this they did either at first, as soon as the roll was brought, that if the king should not like it, yet they besought him that he would not destroy it; or rather when they saw what Jehudi was going to do with it, either by the express order, or at the connivance of the king; then they humbly entreated that such an action might not be done, which gave them a secret horror, though they might endeavour to hide it as much as possible: but he would not hear them;

27 Depois que o rei queimara o rolo com as palavras que Banique escrevera da boca de Jeremias, veio a Jeremias a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
