Chapter 45 |
| 1 | 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. |
