Jeremiah 45 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:

“‘You have said, “Woe is me, because the LORD has added misery to my pain! I am worn out with[fn] groaning and have found no rest.” ’

“This is what you are to say to him: ‘This is what the LORD says: “What I have built I am about to demolish, and what I have planted I am about to uproot ​— ​the whole land!

“But as for you, do you pursue great things for yourself? Stop pursuing! For I am about to bring disaster on all humanity” ​— ​this is the LORD’s declaration ​— ​“but I will grant you your life like the spoils of war wherever you go.” ’ ”
