Jeremiah 45

CHAPTER 45 The Message to Baruch

1 The word which [⁴spoke ¹Jeremiah ²the ³prophet] to Baruch son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in the scroll from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the [²year ¹fourth] of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, 2 Thus said the lord the God of Israel, concerning you, O Baruch. 3 For you said, Alas, for the lord added toil upon my misery. I went to bed in my moanings, [³rest ¹I did not ²find]. 4 You said to him! Thus said the lord, Behold, What I built up I demolish, and what I planted I pluck, even all the land of mine. 5 And you seek to yourself great things. You should not seek. For behold, I bring bad things upon all flesh, says the lord. But I will give to you your life for gain in every place wherever you should proceed there.
