Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 36:28

Commentary on Jeremiah 36:20-32

(Read Jeremiah 36:20-32)

Those who despise the word of God, will soon show, as this king did, that they hate it; and, like him, they would wish it destroyed. See what enmity there is against God in the carnal mind, and wonder at his patience. The princes showed some concern, till they saw how light the king made of it. Beware of making light of God's word!
