Jeremiah 45
Chapter 45
Message to Baruch
1 This is the message which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of
Neriah, when he had written down these words in a book at Jeremiah’s
dictation, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah,
saying:
2 “Thus says the Lord the God of Israel to you, O Baruch:
3 ‘You said, “Ah, woe is me! For the Lord has added sorrow to my
pain; I am weary with my groaning and have found no rest.” ’
4 “Thus you are to say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold,
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.”
5 ‘But you, are you seeking great things for yourself? Do not seek them;
for behold, I am going to bring disaster on all flesh,’ declares the
Lord, ‘but I will give your life to you as booty in all the places where
you may go.’ ”
