Jehoiakim burns Jeremiah's scroll; as in the Book of Jeremiah 36:21–32 (illustration from a Bible card published in 1904 by the Providence Lithograph Company).

The superscription at chapter Jeremiah 1:1–3 identifies the book as "the words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah". [1] Of all the prophets, Jeremiah comes through most clearly as a person, ruminating to his scribe Baruch about his role as a servant of God with little good news for his audience. [2]
