Jeremiah's scribe wants the spirit that rested on Joshua and Elisha. God answers that a ruined vineyard needs no fence, and prophecy is not for him.
Jeremiah's scribe poured his grief into a book, then slipped from the record, and a Babylonian prince later found his grave still deadly and still gold.
Hananiah promised the exiles would be home in two years. Jeremiah gave him one year to live, and Hananiah's sons hid the body for two days.
