Jeremiah

45 The word which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch son of Neriah,—when he had written these words upon a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah saying—

2 Thus saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Unto thee, O Baruch,—

3 Thou didst say, Surely woe to me! For Yahweh hath added sorrow unto my pain,—I am weary with my moaning, And rest have I not found!

4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith Yahweh,—Lo, what I had built I am pulling down, And what I had planted I am rooting up,—And that is all the land:

5 Wouldst thou then seek to secure for thyself great things? Do not seek! For behold me! bringing in calamity upon all flesh, Declareth Yahweh, Nevertheless I will give thee thine own life as a spoil, in all places whithersoever thou goest.
