Jeremiah 45
Message to Baruch
1 This is the message which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to aBaruch the son of Neriah, when he had bwritten these words in a book ▼▼Lit from the mouth of Jeremiah
at Jeremiah’s dictation, in the dfourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying: 2“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says to you, Baruch: 3‘You said, “Oh, woe to me! For the Lord has added grief to my pain; I am eweary with my groaning and have found no rest.”’ 4This is what you are to say to him: ‘This is what the Lord says: “Behold, fwhat I have built I am going to tear down, and what I have planted I am going to uproot, that is, all the people of the land.” 5But as for you, are you gseeking great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I am going to hbring disaster on all flesh,’ declares the Lord, ‘but I will igive your life to you as plunder in all the places where you may go.’”
