Jeremiah 45

¹The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these word in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, ²Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch: ³Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for YHWH hath added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest. ⁴Thus shall you say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land. ⁵And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not; for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith Jehovah; but your life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither you goest.
