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. |
