Jeremiah 36:1-2
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 36[a]
Baruch Writes the Prophecies on a Scroll.[b] 1 In the fourth year of King Jehoiakim of Judah, the son of Josiah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you against Israel, Judah, and all the nations, from the day when I first spoke to you, during the reign of Josiah, until today.

- Jeremiah 36:1 This third part of the Book is drawn from the memoirs of Baruch and reveals the suffering of Jeremiah in the last years of his life (605–587 B.C.). Nowhere else in the Book does the prophet appear more human, more “Christian.” His painful life joins him with the suffering Servant of Second Isaiah (Isa 53). The suffering he endured for almost twenty years made the poor and humiliated Jeremiah one of the purest anticipations of Christ.
- Jeremiah 36:1 When Nebuchadnezzar, scourge of God, came on the scene in 605 B.C., he brought a turning point in history.
