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, 2 Thus
saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:
3
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. 4 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. 5 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. .
