There were added - many like words - All the first roll, with many other threatening and perhaps more minute declarations which were merely of a temporary importance and local application; and the Holy Spirit did not think proper to record them here.

This site's exposition

and there were added besides unto them many like words

Jeremiah takes another roll and gives it to Baruch, and the whole book is written again, all the former words the king had burned now restored word for word. The chapter adds one detail beyond simple replacement, there were added besides unto them many like words, the book coming back not merely intact but larger than the fire left it. Henry and Gill both read this last line as Scripture's own comment on itself, a king with a penknife and a hearth proving unable to reduce a single word of what God had spoken, and the record growing instead of shrinking under his hand.

8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the L ORD in the L ORD 's house. In the beginning of Ezekiel's prophecy we meet with a roll written in vision, for discovery of the things therein contained to the prophet himself, who was to receive and digest them, Ezek. ii.

), many more threatenings of wrath and vengeance; for, since they will yet walk contrary to God, he will heat the furnace seven times hotter. Note, As God is in one mind, and none can turn him, so he has still more arrows in his quiver; and those who contend with God's woes do but prepare for themselves heavier of the same kind.

added besides . . . many like words--Sinners gain nothing but additional punishment by setting aside the word of Jehovah. The law was similarly rewritten after the first tables had been broken owing to Israel's idolatry (Ex 32:19, 34:1).

Many like words - The second scroll was thus a more complete record of the main lessons taught by Jeremiah during the long course of his inspired ministry.
