It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage. The events recorded in chapter 36 give a picture of the contempt that king Jehoiakim had toward the word of God. Though the priests and the officials of the temple trembled when they heard the word of God, the king ignored them and burnt them. This king, in his arrogance, wanted the last word on the rule of the land. Yet the last verse of chapter 36 recounts that Jeremiah recreated the entire scroll that the king had burnt. God always has the last word.
