Jeremiah 45 :: New International Version (NIV)

A Message to Baruch

Jer 45:1

Jer 45:1When Baruch son of Neriah wrote on a scroll the words Jeremiah the prophet dictated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, Jeremiah said this to Baruch:

Jer 45:2

Jer 45:2“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:

Jer 45:3

Jer 45:3You said, ‘Woe to me! The LORD has added sorrow to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.’

Jer 45:4

Jer 45:4But the LORD has told me to say to you, ‘This is what the LORD says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the earth.

Jer 45:5

Jer 45:5Should you then seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the LORD, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.’ ”
