The Book Of Jeremiah -- A Brief Overview
There can be little doubt that the book of Jeremiah grew out of the
roll which Baruch wrote down at the prophet's mouth in the fourth year
of Jehoiakim. ch. (Jeremiah 36:2) Apparently the prophets kept written
records of their predictions, and collected into larger volumes such of
them as were intended for permanent use.--Canon Cook. In the present
order we have two great divisions:-- I. Chs. 1-45. Prophecies delivered
at various times, directed mainly to Judah, or connected with Jeremiah's
personal history. II. Chs. 46-51. Prophecies connected with other
nations.
