Jeremias 36:5

And Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying: I am shut up, and cannot go into the house of the Lord.

Challoner: Shut upNot that the prophet was now in prison; for the contrary appears from ver. 19, but that he kept himself shut up, by reason of the persecutions he had lately met with. See chap. 26.

Haydock's commentary

Shut up. Not that the prophet was now in prison; for the contrary appears from ver. 19., but that he kept himself shut up, by reason of the persecutions he had lately met with. See chap. xxvi. (Challoner)

If he had been confined, as Grotius asserts, the king would easily have found him. (Calmet)

He and Baruch retired to some secret place, as most priests (Worthington) did formerly in England, (Haydock) that they might better exercise their functions than they could do in the hands of the persecutors. (Worthington)
