Jeremiah 45 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Word to Baruch

Jer 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 [fn]at Jeremiah’s dictation, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying:

Jer 45:2“Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel to you, O Baruch:
Jer 45:3‘You said, “Ah, woe is me! For Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my sighing and have found no rest.”’
Jer 45:4“Thus you are to say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Behold, what I have built I am about to pull down, and what I have planted I am about to uproot, that is, the whole land.”
Jer 45:5‘But as for you, are you seeking great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I am going to bring calamity on all flesh,’ declares Yahweh, ‘but I will give your life to you as spoil in all the places where you may go.’”
