Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 36:29

29 And thou shalt say to Jehojakim, king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD, Thou hast burnt this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come, and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast .

It speaketh nothing but the impotency, and passion, and debauchery of humane Nature to swell against any Revelations of the Divine Will, the Counsels of the Lord shall stand, and men only further entangle themselves by strugling in the Lords net. Iehojakim burns one Roll, God will have the same thing wrote in another.

We learn here both what was the matter of Ieremiah's prophecy, and the cause of the Kings anger he had prophecyed that the King of Babylon, should come, take Ierusalem, and lay the countrey waste, which as to Iehojachim's part, was fulfilled within six years after this, more fully in 18 years, but corrupt Princes can endure nothing that shall make their lives uneasie.
