Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 36:15

And they said unto him, Sit down now, and and read it in our ears, So Baruch read it in their ears .

The courage of Baruch is admirable, he was now before the Councel, in the Kings house, the substance of the Prophecies, were threatning both to the King, and Court, and to all the people. The King as appears by all history, was of no good temper, we read ch. 26. ver. 23. of his sending for Vrijah the Prophet out of Egypt, when he had [illegible: 1 letter]led thither for fear of the King, and slaying him, and we shall find that at this time, the Princes advised both Ieremy and Baruch to hide themselves, yet Baruch is not afraid, but reads the Prophecy in their Ears.
