Jeremiah

Chapter 45

ירמיהו
✦

1The word which the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah, when he was writing these words in a scroll at Jeremiah’s dictation, in the fourth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah: 2Thus said the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning you, Baruch: 3You say, “Woe is me! The LORD has added grief to my pain. I am worn out with groaning, and I have found no rest.” 4Thus shall you speak to him: “Thus said the LORD: I am going to overthrow what I have built, and uproot what I have planted—this applies to the whole land. 5And do you expect great things for yourself? Don’t expect them. For I am going to bring disaster upon all flesh—declares the LORD—but I will at least grant you your life in all the places where you may go.”
