Jer 45:5 | MHM | STEP | God promised Baruch that even though times would be hard, his life would be spared wherever he went. His life would be “given…for a prey,” meaning he would escape with his life even when others around him faced disaster. This was God’s way of encouraging Baruch to value God’s protection and mercy instead of chasing after worldly success (Jeremiah 45:5 ).
