Jeremiah 45

Message to Baruch

^{Tools
1} This is the message which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to ^(A)Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had ^(B)written down these words in a book ^(a)at Jeremiah’s dictation, in the ^(C)fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying: ^{Tools
2} “Thus says the Lord the God of Israel to you, O Baruch: ^{Tools
3} ‘You said, “Ah, woe is me! For the Lord has added sorrow to my pain; I am ^(D)weary with my groaning and have found no rest.”’ ^{Tools
4} Thus you are to say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold, ^(E)what I have built I am about to tear down, and what I have planted I am about to uproot, that is, the whole land.” ^{Tools
5} But you, are you ^(F)seeking great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I am going to ^(G)bring disaster on all flesh,’ declares the Lord, ‘but I will ^(H)give your life to you as booty in all the places where you may go.’”
