Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah,.... Who was his amanuensis or scribe; and this word he spake not to him of himself, but in the name of the Lord, as coming from him; so the Targum calls it,
"the word of prophecy which Jeremiah the prophet prophesied concerning Baruch the son of Neriah:''
when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah; not what immediately precede, concerning the destruction of the Jews in Egypt; which were delivered out many years after the writing of the roll by Baruch here referred to; and which was done, as here said,
in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; which was eighteen years before the destruction of Jerusalem; so that this prophecy does not stand in order, which would more properly have followed the thirty sixth chapter; where we have an account of what Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah in a roll, and read to the people, and after that to the princes; which exposed him to danger, and caused the grief expressed by him in this chapter; but it being written to a private person, is postponed to this place:

Jeremiah, and read them publicly in the temple, and afterwards
to many of the princes, is in great affliction because of the
awful judgments with which the land of Judah was about to be
visited; and also on account of the imminent danger to which
his own life was exposed, in publishing such unwelcome tidings,
1-3.
To remove Baruch's fear with respect to this latter
circumstance, the prophet assures him that though the total
destruction of Judea was determined because of the great
wickedness of the inhabitants, yet his life should be preserved
amidst the general desolation, 4, 5.
NOTES ON CHAP. XLV
Verse Jeremiah 45:1. The word that Jeremiah - spake unto Baruch — This is another instance of shameless transposition. This discourse was delivered in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, several years before Jerusalem was taken by the Chaldeans. It is a simple appendage to Jeremiah 36:32, and there it should have been inserted.
