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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;
3
Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
4
¶ Thus shalt thou say unto him, The +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
