Jer 45:1The prophet Jeremiah gave a message to Baruch son of Neriah in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah,[fn] after Baruch had written down everything Jeremiah had dictated to him. He said,

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 have said, ‘I am overwhelmed with trouble! Haven’t I had enough pain already? And now the LORD has added more! I am worn out from sighing and can find no rest.’

Jer 45:4

Jer 45:4“Baruch, this is what the LORD says: ‘I will destroy this nation that I built. I will uproot what I planted.

Jer 45:5

Jer 45:5Are you seeking great things for yourself? Don’t do it! I will bring great disaster upon all these people; but I will give you your life as a reward wherever you go. I, the LORD, have spoken!’”
