Scripture focus
Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD’S house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
Jeremiah 36:6 — KJV
Go thou, and read. Since Jeremiah was restricted from going “into the house of the Lord,” Baruch was called upon not only to be the prophet’s secretary but also to be the preacher of Jeremiah’s divinely inspired messages.
Upon the fasting day. This occasion was not a regular yearly fast (see on v. 9), but one of those special occasions “proclaimed” in time of national crisis (2 Chron. 20:1-3; Joel 2:15). It was a time when a large number of people would be gathered together, and be in a frame of mind to listen to a divine admonition and an appeal for repentance. It is possible that Jehoiakim, on the advice of his apostate priests and false prophets, called this fast to arouse the people to greater resistance against the Babylonians.
