Jeremiah 45
- The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake
unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the
mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of
Judah, saying,
- Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;
- 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.
- Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which
I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up,
even this whole land.
- 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 unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
