Jer 36:5 | JFB | STEP | 5. I am shut up-- not in prison, for there is no account of his imprisonment under Jehoiakim, and , are inconsistent with it: but, "I am prevented," namely, by some hindrance; or, through fear of the king, to whose anger Baruch was less exposed, as not being the author of the prophecy.

‏ Jeremiah 36:5

5. I am shut up--not in prison, for there is no account of his imprisonment under Jehoiakim, and Jr 36:19, 26 are inconsistent with it: but, "I am prevented," namely, by some hindrance; or, through fear of the king, to whose anger Baruch was less exposed, as not being the author of the prophecy.
