| 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. |
