Jer45:1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neri'ah, when he wrote these words in a book at the dictation of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoi'akim the son of Josi'ah, king of Judah:
Jer45:2 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:
Jer45:3 You said, Woe is me! for the LORD has added sorrow to my pain;I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.'
Jer45:4 Thus shall you say to him, Thus says the LORD: Behold, what I have built I am breaking down, and what I have planted I am plucking up -- that is, the whole land.
Jer45:5 And do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not;for, behold, I am bringing evil upon all flesh, says the LORD;but I will give you your life as a prize of war in all places to which you may go.'
