Etter at kongen hadde brent bokrullen der Baruk hadde skrevet ned ordene som Jeremia hadde sagt, kom Herren til Jeremia med nye Ord: «Ta deg en annen bokrull og skriv ned alt som sto på den første bokrullen fra begynnelsen. Du skal si til Jojakim, kongen av Juda, at Jeg sier til ham: Du brente opp denne bokrullen og sa: ‘Hvorfor har du skrevet at Babels konge skal komme og ødelegge dette landet og la både mennesker og dyr bli utryddet herfra?’
