According to Jeremiah, God wanted his helper to read a special message to the people in a big meeting place where everyone came to pray and listen. This message was important for everyone to hear, so they would know what God wanted them to do.

Jeremiah 36:6: Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD'S house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 1:7

Contradiction lies in God directing Jeremiah to go and speak, whereas Jeremiah 36:6 involves someone else (Baruch) reading Jeremiah's words.

Jeremiah 1:7: But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I [am] a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

Contradiction with Exodus 4:10

Contradiction in Moses citing his own speech difficulties, unlike Jeremiah 36:6 where Jeremiah instructs Baruch to speak on his behalf.

Exodus 4:10: And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I [am] not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I [am] slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. [eloquent: Heb. a man of words] [heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, nor since the third day]

Contradiction with Matthew 28:19

This verse commands to go and teach all nations, contrasting Jeremiah 36:6 where the task is passed on to another, not fulfilled by Jeremiah himself.

Matthew 28:19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [teach...: or, make disciples, or, Christians of all nations]

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:28

Contradiction on communication; while Jeremiah relies on another to convey his message, this verse advises remaining silent if not direct.

1 Corinthians 14:28: But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
