Jeremiah
45:1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah,
when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in
the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
45:2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:
45:3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my
sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
45:4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I
have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck
up, even this whole land.
45:5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I
will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give
unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
