Message
to Baruch |
|
|
 |
Jeremiah 45:1 |
|
This is the message which Jeremiah the prophet
spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written down these words in a book
at Jeremiah's dictation, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king
of Judah, saying: |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 45:2 |
|
"Thus says the LORD the God of Israel to you,
O Baruch: |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 45:3 |
|
'You said, "Ah, woe is me! For the LORD has
added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning and have found no rest."'
|
|
|
|
Jeremiah 45:4 |
|
"Thus you are to say to him, 'Thus says the
LORD, "Behold, what I have built I am about to tear down, and what I have planted
I am about to uproot, that is, the whole land." |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 45:5 |
|
'But you, are you seeking great things for yourself?
Do not seek them; for behold, I am going to bring disaster on all flesh,' declares
the LORD, 'but I will give your life to you as booty in all the places where you
may go.'" |
