He:
"Takeª ° thee a rollª of a book,ª and writeª ° therein¹ ¹ all¹ the wordsª that¹ I have spokenª ° unto¹ thee against¹ Israel,ª and against¹ Judah,ª and against¹ all¹ the nations,ª from the dayª ¹ I spakeª ° unto¹ thee, from the daysª ¹ of Josiah,ª even unto¹ this¹ day.ª" {Jer 36:2} + "Then Jeremiahª calledª °¹ Baruchª the sonª of Neriah:ª and Baruchª wroteª ° from the mouthª ¹ of Jeremiahª ¹ all¹ the wordsª of the LORD,ª which¹ he had spokenª ° unto¹ him, upon¹ a rollª of a book.ª" {Jer 36:4} + "Then spakeª ° Azariahª the sonª of Hoshaiah,ª and Johananª the sonª of Kareah,ª and all¹ the proudª men,² ¹ sayingª ° unto¹ Jeremiah,ª Thou¹ speakestª ° falsely:ª the LORDª our Godª hath not¹ sentª ° thee to say,ª ° Goª ° not¹ into Egyptª to sojournª ° there:¹ ...

Answerª ° a foolª according to his folly,ª lest¹ he be¹ wiseª in his own conceit.ª" {Prv 26:4-5}

with ink:
Baddeyo is rendered by some, after him; but deyo (in Chaldee and Syriac deyootha and in Welsh du) certainly denotes ink; whence are derived the Arabic dawat and deweet and Persian deeveet an ink-holder; the Syriac dayowo, and Persian div the devil. So the Alexandrian copy of the LXX has εν μελανι, and Vulgate atramento "with ink." Perhaps the princes supposed that Baruch had written this roll from memory; and that it was rather to be considered as his composition, than the substance of Jeremiah's prophecies; and they might ask this apparently frivolous question in order to allay the alarms excited by considering it as the word of God. But Baruch, with great simplicity, so answered their question, as to shew that he only acted as Jeremiah's amanuensis, and wrote verbatim what he had dictated.
