Jeremiah 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. |
