Jeremiah 45 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Message to Baruch

Jer 45:1

This is the message which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written 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“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel says to you, Baruch:
Jer 45:3‘You said, “Oh, woe to me! For the LORD has added grief to my pain; I am weary with my groaning and have found no rest.”’
Jer 45:4“This is what you are to say to him: ‘This is what the LORD says: “Behold, what I have built I am going to tear down, and what I have planted I am going to uproot, that is, all the people of the 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 disaster on all flesh,’ declares the LORD, ‘but I will give your life to you as plunder in all the places where you may go.’”
