The Purpose of Written Scripture
Commentators explain that God commanded Jeremiah to write down his prophecies for a clear purpose. It was an act of mercy, designed to give the people a tangible record of God's warnings so they might hear, fear, repent, and be forgiven. This act of writing preserves the divine message and leaves the unrepentant without excuse.
