Jeremiah 45
1THE word which Jeremias the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Nerias, when he was writing the words in the book, from the mouth of Jeremias, in the fourth year of Joakim son of Josias king of Juda:
2Thus said the Lord concerning thee, Baruch,
3because thou saidst, “Ah woe is me! for the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow: I laid me down with sighing; no rest did I find,”
4[hence] say to him, Thus said the Lord: Behold! them whom I built up, I am pulling down; them whom I planted, I am rooting up;
5And wilt thou seek great things for thyself? Seek them not. For behold I am about to bring evils on all flesh, saith the Lord; but I will give thee thy life as a gift in every place whither thou shalt go.
