| 45 | Jeremiah | ||
| 1 | The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neri'ah, when he wrote these words in a book at the dictation of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoi'akim the son of Josi'ah, king of Judah: | God's promise to Baruch. Jr.45.1-5 | |
| 2 | "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch: | ||
| 3 | You said, 'Woe is me! for the LORD has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.' | ||
| 4 | Thus shall you say to him, Thus says the LORD: Behold, what I have built I am breaking down, and what I have planted I am plucking up - that is, the whole land. | ||
| 5 | And do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not; for, behold, I am bringing evil upon all flesh, says the LORD; but I will give you your life as a prize of war in all places to which you may go." | ||
