Jeremiah 45
1 The word that the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah, when Baruch wrote these words in a book as dictated by Jeremiah. This was in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:
2 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:
3 ‘You said, “Woe to me! The LORD has added sorrow to my pain. I am worn out from groaning, and I have found no rest.”
4 This is what you are to say to him: “This is what the LORD says: What I built, I am tearing down; what I planted, I am uprooting—and this is true of the whole land.
5 And are you seeking great things for yourself? Do not seek them! For I am bringing disaster on all flesh, declares the LORD, but I will give you your life as plunder wherever you go.’”
