45:1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son
of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book from 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, to 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 to him, The LORD saith thus; Behold,
[that] which I have built I will 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 to thee for a prey in all places
whither thou goest.
