Jer. 45:1 fourth year of Jehoiakim. About 605 b.c. See 36:1.
Jer. 45:3 Baruch felt the effects of sharing Jeremiah’s ministry and persecution (36:19; 43:3; 6). the Lord has added sorrow. Baruch felt that God was unjust, and he viewed the great events of the day as difficulties for him.
Jer. 45:4 God states that he has lost much more than Baruch has.
Jer. 45:5 Apparently Baruch hoped for great personal success, not pain and suffering. Seek them not. Fame and ease are not available. I am bringing disaster upon all flesh. Not just on Judah, but on Egypt (44:29–30; 46:1–28) and many other nations (chs. 47–51). give you your life. See 1:17–19 and 39:15–18.
