Targum of Jeremiah on Jeremiah 36:28-32

  

28. “Again take for yourself another scroll, and write on it all the former words which were on the first scroll which Jehoiakim, the king of the tribe of the house of Judah, has burnt. 29. And concerning Jehoiakim, the king of the tribe of the house of Judah, you shall say: ‘Thus says the Lord: You yourself have burned this scroll, saying: “Why have you written on it, saying, The king of Babylon shall surely come and destroy this land and abolish8 man and beast from it?” 30. Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim, the king of the tribe of the house of Judah: He shall not have a man sitting on the throne of David, and his corpse shall be cast out to the scorching heat by day and to the ice by night. 31. And I will visit their sins upon him and upon his sons and upon his servants; and I will bring on them and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem and on the men of Judah every evil which I have decreed against them, but they did not listen.” 32. And Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the son of Neriah the scribe, and he wrote on it at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll which Jehoiakim, the king of the tribe of the house of Judah, had burned in the fire; and again there were added to them many words like them.
