Jer 45
1
The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to 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,
2
Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:
3
You did say, Woe is me now! for YHWH has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with
my groaning, and I find no rest.
4
Thus shall you say to him, Thus says YHWH: 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.
5
And seek you great things for yourself? seek them not; for, behold, I will bring evil
upon all flesh, says YHWH; but your life will I give to you for a prey in all places
where you go.
