Jeremiah 36:31

31 and I have charged on him, and on his seed, and on his servants, their iniquity; and I have brought in on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken unto them, and they hearkened not.'

Jeremiah 36:31 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 36:31

And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their
iniquity
In cutting the roll pieces, and burning it, as Abarbinel interprets it; which either was done by himself, or by his order, and with his connivance; and at which perhaps his sons were present, and expressed a pleasure in it; an& his servants that stood by assented to it, excepting three; nor were they afraid of the judgments of God for it, nor in the least shocked at it, ( Jeremiah 36:24 Jeremiah 36:25 ) ; though this may be understood of all their iniquities they had been guilty of, the singular being put for the plural: and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and
upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against
them;
the sword, famine, and pestilence; the destruction of their land, city, and temple; and their captivity in Babylon: but they hearkened not;
to what was said to them, neither in the first nor in the second roll.

32 And Jeremiah hath taken another roll, and giveth it unto Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, and he writeth on it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book that Jehoiakim king of Judah hath burnt in the fire; and again there were added unto them many words like these.
